Licensed Practicing Counselor (LPC)

About the Owner

Meet Andrew Bott, LPC

I'm a man who's lived a full life — successful careers, big mistakes, and painful breaks. Those experiences taught me how to help others do the same.

"I blend empathy with humor and real-life stories that make the work feel human and approachable."

My Approach

What sets me apart is the real connection I bring to every session. I listen deeply, then give you practical, actionable tools you can actually use — not just theories.

My approach is grounded in DBT and present-moment awareness, helping you navigate personal struggles or relationship challenges with a straightforward perspective.

My Promise

I've lived all over the U.S. and spent time abroad, so I meet people where they are, without judgment. If you're feeling stuck, I'm here to walk alongside you.

Together we can find clarity, rebuild confidence, and get you back on solid ground. If my words resonate, reach out — I'm here to help.

Client Voices

Real change, in their own words.

Andrew has a way of cutting through the noise. After years of feeling stuck, our first few sessions gave me real tools — not just talk. I finally feel like I'm moving forward.

M. R.

Individual client

We came in barely speaking. Andrew met us where we were, brought humor when we needed it, and helped us actually hear each other again. Our marriage is in a different place now.

J. & K.

Couples counseling

Honest, grounded, and never preachy. Andrew shares from his own life in a way that makes you feel less alone. The work is hard, but it's the kind that actually sticks.
