Andrew Anderson

Licensed Professional Counselor

“I specialize in working with adults who are stuck, having difficulty getting themselves going, or feel like they’re being pulled in too many different directions. I have experience helping clients who have racing thoughts, heaviness of breath or are overly tired all the time, or feel sensations such as tightly wound.”

About Me

I guide adults feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled in too many directions. You might experience racing thoughts, persistent tiredness, or a heavy, tightly wound sensation. I offer a supportive, practical space to explore these challenges together. My approach helps you understand these feelings and find clarity. This support is ideal for those ready to move forward and regain control in their lives.

Approach

When your mind races and your body feels weighted, I focus on small, steady shifts that help you move through mornings and decisions with less friction. In Hoboken or online in English, sessions are practical and paced to your energy—short check-ins, focused breathing practice, and tools we try between meetings to test what actually changes your day. We track patterns together, breaking big transitions into doable steps while paying attention to shame and identity questions that often hide beneath exhaustion. This way of working suits people who want clear, manageable change without feeling overwhelmed.
