Andrea Flood

Andrea is a master’s level student in National Louis University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. Having spent much of her life around healthcare, Andrea has developed a strong appreciation for the many ways people experience recovery. She is passionate about supporting people through all stages of that process and recognizes that healing can look different for everyone.

Andrea approaches counseling with warmth, curiosity, and an open mind. She believes counseling works best when clients feel comfortable being themselves and view therapy as a collaborative process. Because clients bring their unique experiences into therapy, she understands mental health within the broader context of a person’s relationships, environment, culture, and physical health. Her goal is to meet clients where they are, understand what matters most to them, and help them recognize their strengths while finding practical, meaningful ways to improve their wellbeing.

Some of Andrea’s clinical concentrations include working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. She enjoys supporting clients who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what they want from counseling, but know that something in their lives needs to change. She has a particular interest in working with individuals with acquired disabilities, helping them navigate changes in independence, relationships, identity, daily roles, and future plans with compassion and support.
