Andrea Kessinger
M.A. Clinicial Mental Health Counseling Intern
You weren't meant to carry the weight of life's challenges alone.
Perhaps anxiety has become a constant companion, making it difficult to quiet your mind or enjoy the present moment. Maybe your marriage feels strained, conversations turn into arguments, or you find yourself feeling more like roommates than partners. You may be navigating a difficult relationship, a major life transition, grief, or simply feeling emotionally overwhelmed by everything you're trying to hold together. No matter what has brought you here, it's easy to begin wondering if things will ever feel different.
Andrea believes that healing begins when you have a safe place to be seen, heard, and understood without judgment. She is passionate about helping teens, adults and couples navigate life's challenges with compassion, encouragement, and practical tools that create lasting change. Whether you're working through anxiety, strengthening your marriage, improving communication, rebuilding trust, or navigating relationship struggles, Andrea partners with you to identify what's keeping you stuck and helps you move toward the life and relationships you desire.
Using various therapeutic approaches and trauma-informed care, Andrea tailors each session to your unique needs, goals, and experiences. She believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counseling and is committed to walking alongside you with warmth, grace, and genuine care throughout your journey.
For clients who desire it, Andrea is honored to thoughtfully integrate biblical principles and faith into the counseling process. She believes faith can be a meaningful source of hope, strength, wisdom, and healing while always respecting each person's individual beliefs, preferences, and comfort level.
Imagine feeling calmer instead of constantly overwhelmed by worry. Imagine having conversations that lead to understanding instead of conflict. Imagine reconnecting with your spouse, building healthier relationships, establishing boundaries with confidence, and facing life's challenges with greater peace and resilience.
At Hope Counseling Pittsburgh, Andrea desires for every client to leave therapy feeling empowered, encouraged, and confident that change is possible. Her goal is not simply to help you survive difficult seasons, but to help you experience deeper healing, stronger relationships, and the hope that comes from knowing you don't have to face life's challenges alone.
