Hi, I’m Andrew Lawton. As a therapist, I understand the bravery it takes to be completely vulnerable with another individual. My role in the counseling space is to meet you right where you are with respect, compassion, and non-judgment. I find it a privilege to journey with a client.
With over 15 years of experience, I have long been an advocate for helping remove the stigma attached to mental illness, adults coping with life transitions, racial and cultural issues, healing from trauma, and coping with anxiety.
My practice is rooted in the belief that every individual possesses the strength to overcome adversity, and my role is to empower them to unlock their potential.
With deep-seated empathy and a genuine desire to understand, I seek to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, validated, and respected.
Let’s sort out what troubles you in healthy ways by exploring your individual experience, and uncovering your unique strengths. I want to empower you to find your best path through this life as you heal from past hurts and search for meaning, purpose, and direction.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
