Andrew John Hook

Andrew John Hook is a Licensed Professional Counselor with credentials including MAC and LPCC, dedicated to working with teens and adults. His experience spans individuals from diverse backgrounds, particularly men, including athletes, first responders, and students. He understands that many individuals are conditioned to separate their emotions from their reasoning in order to manage their life experiences. This often leads to the mistrust of emotions and the belief that they must be subdued to make sound decisions. Andrew frequently sees the adverse impacts of fatherlessness or unhealthy paternal figures, which can hinder men’s comprehension of masculinity and its expression in everyday life. Through his compassionate guidance, he helps men reconcile their emotional and logical selves, fostering an awareness of their feelings and the reasons behind them. His therapeutic practice addresses a variety of issues such as anger, trauma, relationships, identity development, and vocation. Recognizing that men typically don't engage in profound emotional exchanges, Andrew advocates for the transformative power of such connections. He believes acknowledging the need for help is a courageous step in navigating life's complexities. Emphasizing the importance of embracing the present situation, he encourages clients to seek understanding and acceptance as a pathway to meaningful progress toward a brighter future.
