Andrew Mercer, LPC, LCPC

Andrew Mercer welcomes people who are ready to pursue meaningful change and offers steady, goal-focused support as they do. He brings years of experience working with adults in private practice and additional experience as a life coach with college-aged clients, combining a direct, honest style with patient, compassionate listening to let insight emerge. Former and current clients appreciate his straightforward approach and the calm space he provides for thoughtful reflection.

Trained in pastoral counseling and educated at Loyola University in Chicago, he is comfortable addressing both spiritual concerns and more traditional clinical issues. He draws from relational schools of thought - including psychodynamic, humanistic, and Adlerian approaches - and adapts these methods in a pragmatic way to keep therapy focused and efficient. That blend allows him to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, addictions, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting and career issues, anger, self-esteem difficulties, bipolar disorder, and LGBT issues.

He emphasizes collaboration and practicality, helping each person find strategies that fit their life and goals. Andrew looks forward to joining clients on the next steps of their journey toward greater wellbeing.
