True Potential Counseling

My first experience in counseling has been nothing but positive. Andreas approach is very personable. She has a great understanding on helping overcome tough issues in life. My relationship has been much better and always improving and I feel better as an individual. I would highly recommend Andrea at True Potential Counseling.

I can honestly say, one session was more effective for me than years with other therapists. Andrea makes you feel comfortable and safe, making it easier to completely let go and be honest. I HIGHLY recommend True Potential to anyone in need of addressing issues.

I consider myself lucky to have met and received a session from Andrea. Although opening up to a therapist and uncovering my dysfunctional thinking and behavior isn’t my favorite thing to do, sometimes it’s a necessity. Andrea helped me see my part in my relationship woes more clearly and also helped reveal some desires I was denying myself. She helped me tap into my resources and guided me with EMDR to have a new experience of support and comfort of which I can continually access. (She gave me homework to spend time meditating on a key word that encompassed the supported feelings for me.) I was surprised at how much benefit and change of attitude came from our session together. I’ve been to therapy before but I didn’t get the same results before as I did with Andrea. I’m thankful for that. I believe her methods work and have piece of mind knowing I can come to her when I need to.

In my experience, most sessions with other therapists are all about you sitting there and telling them all about yourself, your life and your issues. That never worked for me in the past — I have friends for that. It took going through many therapists until I found Andrea — a therapist that was more interested in using specialized methods to heal the past, and train you to manage your emotional future. Well, it has worked wonders. Andrea is amazing, and I’d vouch for her and her methods any day! Thank you Andrea.

I had my first session with Andrea yesterday, and I am already feeling much lighter.
Going in to the session, I was nervous to bring up a few topics that are difficult for me. Through Andrea’s gentle guidance, and respect for what I needed to feel comfortable, we were able to get to the root of some of my present discomfort. We identified past experiences that were in alignment with my current «problem,» and worked on releasing the pain through EMDR.
Andrea’s depth of knowledge, as well as her ability to intuitively adapt to whatever came up for me, was deeply healing and supportive. I am so grateful I was led to her, and look forward to working with her again.

Growing up, I have been pretty successful and pretty tough as a person. A few months ago, I went through a very rough time in my life (I fell in love with an emotionally unavailable woman and I was emotionally unavailable myself at first). The emotional ups and downs that I went through were the worst I have ever been through. I started doing some self-​help to figure out what was wrong with me and I realized that I had some insecurities that were embedded deep down and I needed to address those. Even though I got some answers by doing some self-​help, I started obsessing too much about it and it started to lose value. To get a better perspective, I decided to invest in some counseling and came across Andrea and True Potential counseling and I am glad that I did. Andrea listened to my issues and concerns and guided me through this tough time with an understanding approach. I was able to do the sessions online through the comfort of my own home (it cut out the need to drive or meet with the counselor in person considering how busy I am). Andrea was very flexible and easy to work with. I did not feel like I was in counseling or therapy. It was like having a conversation with a friend over coffee. I did not feel pressured into anything and she allowed me to absorb the information at my own pace. Currently I attended four sessions and I am taking a break to address some of my issues and then I will be back to follow up and continue my process of internal exploration and healing. I highly recommend Andrea. If you are motivated to improve your self-​esteem, confidence and worth, this will be one of the best investments you can make and it can impact you for a lifetime! Save that trip to Vegas and do this instead… you will not regret it!

My time working with Andrea was pivotal for me in re-​discovering my
own worth. After being in the depths for so long I was shocked and
relieved to discover the confusion and weight lifting and a new sense
of self emerge. I am especially grateful for her open, understanding
and gentle approach to helping me through what has been the most
difficult time in my life. She allowed me to process at my own pace,
with gentle suggestions for new approaches and perspectives that,
coming from anyone else, would have been extremely difficult for me to
integrate. Andrea is a very gifted counselor and I would recommend her
services to anyone.
