Andrea Gaines, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Therapeutic Approach

I support clients in developing curiosity about how old strategies of self-preservation may now be constricting their ability to build a fuller life. I help clients become more attuned to their full range of emotions, shift relationship patterns that are no longer serving them, and build richer, more meaningful connections. I believe long-lasting, meaningful change occurs in therapy when clients feel accompanied, seen, and challenged as they address deeper issues.

I have experience working with clients seeking support for complex trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, childhood abuse and neglect, racial trauma, relationship stress, loneliness, self-acceptance, substance use recovery, and family of origin issues. A good fit is the most important factor for effective therapy. I have a warm, collaborative style. I am continually moved by the growth I witness in my clients as they build more richness, authenticity, and intimacy in their lives.

I am licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. Before becoming a therapist, I was a teacher in Austin public schools for 10 years.

Superbills

At this time, I do not take insurance.

I encourage you to reach out to your insurance company to see if they provide partial coverage for out-of-network therapy providers. If they do, you may request a superbill from me that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. This video may be helpful for better understanding out-of-network insurance coverage.
