Getting to know Andrea Cooper
I am honored to assist others through life's challenges and have been counseling clients for over 15 years. I have experience working with trauma, criminal justice issues, and utilizing play therapy. I hold a Master's in Counseling from the University of Houston, Clear Lake.
I am trauma-focused and believe trauma shapes our behaviors and future selves. I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy to explore past trauma affecting your life. Additionally, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thinking errors that interfere with your judgment and behaviors.
Clients are served weekly through the convenience of telehealth. Together, we will identify goals and objectives to help improve your symptoms, mental health, and overall life. For Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, I typically work with clients for 12 sessions using Cognitive Processing Therapy. Most clients see progress within the first 4-5 sessions.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My clients can expect to explore their reason for coming to therapy, discuss their needs and background, and ask any questions they may have about the process of healing through therapy and becoming more mentally healthy and their best self.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Andrea will discuss things with you directly and create plans for solutions which works very well with how I think. It has been great working with her on my past trauma and understanding these things.

She’s literally the best!

These sessions have taught me how to be more present. She is kind and a good listener and practical with her advice. She is helping me like who I am and be more certain about who I want to be moving forward. It feels good to be heard, so I can heal.

She is understanding, king/gentle, caring, and encouraging while also being firm, direct, questioning, and challenging. There is a fine line between being overly nice and too aggressive and she walks it perfectly which has helped me to uncover, process, understand, and begin to heal from some past traumas and current poor behavior patterns to ensure a better future for me and my family. She is real, and this deviation from an overly clinical experience makes it easier for me to be real as well. I have already recommended her to multiple family members and strongly encourage any others to take advantage of her skillset as well.
