I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.

I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.

I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.

Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs, with a focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapist

Virtual • La Porte, IN


I believe that everyone has the ability to grow into the person that they want to be. I want to help people turn obstacles into opportunities, weaknesses into strengths, and discouragement into hope. I make every effort to be dependable, understanding, and empathetic. I also am upfront, honest, and kind. You can expect that we will talk in real world terms, not in psychological terms. We will find practical solutions, rather than reflect on "how that made you feel."

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where we identify the thoughts and behaviors that lead to negative feelings and emotions. I find that this practical approach is often the best approach to find progress quickly. I also practice Narrative Therapy to address trauma and difficult times. This approach addresses painful memories and experiences to reorient my client to a better understanding of the past and to find healing. I will attempt to work with anyone for almost any issue. I specialize in assisting with men's issues, communication issues, conflict resolution, parenting issues, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, grief, career counseling, and substance abuse issues.

I have worked in private practice for over 9 years. Prior to that, I worked in community-based services where I assisted families to stay together and juveniles to work through their legal issues. I have worked in substance abuse services. I also have experiences working with intellectual disabilities.

I hold a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling and hold a Licensed Mental Health Counselor's license in Florida and Indiana.

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they work toward healing, growth, and change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, and Substance Abuse Professional, I bring both deep clinical knowledge and a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

I specialize in helping clients navigate life’s most personal challenges—including relationship and intimacy concerns, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and mental health struggles. I also provide substance abuse treatment, DOT/SAP evaluations, and recovery support using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, the Duluth Model, and the Matrix Model.

I have a special commitment to serving Black communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people living with HIV, re-entry populations, sex workers, and youth facing challenges. I understand how personal, cultural, and systemic factors shape each person’s story, and I create a safe, affirming space where clients feel truly seen and heard.

In our sessions, you can expect a respectful, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I believe therapy works best as a partnership—we’ll set goals together, explore what’s holding you back, and develop practical strategies you can use in daily life a more fulfilling life. Whether you’re seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to invest in your personal growth, I’m here to help you take that next step.

Andrew Troxel

Therapist

Virtual • Indiana


I’m a therapist with experience working with adolescents and adults navigating mental health concerns, substance use, trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, and other everyday challenges. My clinical approach incorporates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, while tailoring treatment to the individual needs and goals of each client.

My approach to therapy is grounded in authenticity, trust, and meeting people where they are. I strive to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients can be honest about what they are experiencing without feeling pressured to have everything figured out. At the same time, I believe therapy should help create meaningful change, and I am comfortable respectfully challenging clients when it can help them recognize patterns, develop new perspectives, and move toward their goals.

My background includes military service prior to becoming a therapist, which has influenced my ability to remain calm during difficult situations and appreciate that people can experience the same circumstances from very different perspectives. I ultimately chose this profession because I value genuine human connection and the opportunity to help people better understand themselves, develop practical skills, and build lives that feel more manageable and meaningful.

First off, thanks for reading my profile! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor. I spent most of my career working with people struggling with mental health issues, relationship problems and addictive behavior. I try to be "down to earth" and more directive in therapy because I think you want to get your issues solved as quickly as possible which is better for you. I believe we, as humans, can benefit from having someone to talk to at any point in our lives and I'm always up for a good chat. I'm also a believer that if you feel empowered to take on the hard things in life, you'll be more likely to be and remain successful with other things you may be facing.
