Andrea Grimes, LCPC
Hi, I'm Andrea! We all know what it's like to need a shoulder during tough times. I have spent the last twelve years in the deeply meaningful work of mental health, and before that I worked in the field of biology. To me, therapy is a wonderful combination of putting the pieces together and building human connection. Together, we will explore all the big and small questions that make up a life of mental and emotional wellness. Whether you need a plan of action on specific issues, or general support as you face up to life's many challenges, I am excited to be your reliable partner on the journey!
