“Dr. Kevin Friend is a friendly, highly skilled and empathetic therapist. He made me feel very safe and calm from the very beginning of our appointment and gave me very helpful feedback throughout our session. He also conducted an induction hypnotherapy at our first appointment, which helped ease my anxiety.
I very much look forward to our forthcoming sessions and believe that Dr. Kevin Friend will help shape my mental health in the most positive direction possible.”

Getting to know Andrew Kevin Friend
Do you find yourself feeling rudderless, stuck, and lacking direction? Are you having difficulties finding balance in your life or focusing on your goals? Are things becoming more overwhelming? Do you find yourself needing a friend to talk to?
With over twenty years of experience and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Phillips Graduate University, I can help you get back on track.
I will guide you in learning multiple therapeutic tools, including CBT, hypnosis, reframing, rescripting, humor, communication, transactional analysis, meditation, and relaxation techniques to help you rebuild a better, more contented you.
My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing space where we work as a team toward your growth and happiness, whether individually or through couples counseling. Together, we will help you continue your journey toward a more fulfilling life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal as your therapist is to help you learn to access the tools you need (and may already have) to feel better as quickly as possible. I'll provide a warm and supportive environment for you while you continue to practice using the tools we develop and implement together. My hope is for you to feel light from our very first session.

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.
