Licensed Professional Counselor, MA
Andrew Golden is a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges. He understands that many people may feel alone, misunderstood, or unfulfilled in their personal relationships. Often, they seek therapy during distressing times; however, Andrew knows that underlying struggles usually warrant the most attention. Initially, he works swiftly to ease immediate pain and offer relief, but as therapy proceeds, the focus shifts towards fostering enriching relationships with oneself and others. Andrew's therapeutic approach prioritizes the interpersonal dynamics influencing daily experiences, aiding clients in breaking free from patterns of depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Together, they explore behaviors and attitudes that may have provided safety in the past but no longer serve a beneficial purpose. Through this collaborative process, Andrew encourages his clients to embrace growth and healing, recognizing that we are all in recovery from something and continuously evolving towards a more fulfilling life.
