You may be carrying more than most people realize – whether it’s the toll of anxiety, the fog of depression, lingering impacts of trauma, or the stress of feeling the need to constantly hold everything together. Maybe you’ve already been doing the work, but something still feels unfinished. Maybe you're exploring your identity, breaking cycles, or navigating the impacts of chronic illness. You want to feel more connected to yourself, but you’re not sure where to start. In our work together, you’ll be met with presence, not pressure. This is your space to show up exactly as you are, feel understood, and reconnect with the parts of you that deserve care and attention, not just survival.

Getting to know Andrea Kersting

You may be carrying more than most people realize – whether it’s the toll of anxiety, the fog of depression, lingering impacts of trauma, or the stress of feeling the need to constantly hold everything together. Maybe you’ve already been doing the work, but something still feels unfinished. Maybe you're exploring your identity, breaking cycles, or navigating the impacts of chronic illness. You want to feel more connected to yourself, but you’re not sure where to start. In our work together, you’ll be met with presence, not pressure. This is your space to show up exactly as you are, feel understood, and reconnect with the parts of you that deserve care and attention, not just survival.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our work is collaborative and grounded in who you are—not just what you’ve been through. I use trauma-informed, affirming care to ease anxiety, trauma symptoms, identity or health shifts, and help you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels steady and fully your own. My approach draws from somatic work, mindfulness, CBT, and related approaches.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

If even a small part of you is ready for things to feel different, that’s enough. You don’t need the perfect words to reach out, just a sense that something’s shifting. I’d be honored to support you. Together we'll make space for what you've carried and explore what healing can look like for you.
