I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with many years of experience as a counselor and many years as energy healer and life coach. I am from Maine and moved to Florida after my graduate program and back to Maine several years later. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem and self-confidence, career and entrepreneurial challenges. I have worked with many clients who have experienced emotional, sexual, or physical trauma or abuse and many other family-of-origin issues.
My counseling style is warm and supportive, with a touch of humor. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in judging others. My approach is eclectic, combining mindfulness, solution-focused, inner-child work, visualization, coaching, mind-body connection, shadow work, and internal family systems therapy. I bring an NLP perspective, at times. I tailor dialogue and treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I really was opposed to therapy or even talking about my feelings at all, in some ways I still am. However, Andrea listens well and she makes me feel better about how I’m feeling. I don’t feel like I’m psychotic or stupid for having my feelings, and she gives me a safe space to see what I can do to further help myself

Andrea is a fantastic counsellor and human. She is non judgmental, supportive and highly intelligent. I feel supported by her wholeheartedly. Andrea has provided me with resources and guidance along my journey to overcome anxiety, sort out issues with romantic relationships and also learning how to heal from many years of low self esteem and lack of self-love. Andrea has come into my life with her expertise at the exact right time and she helped me get right to the root of what I am struggling with, while also truly caring about my life & my future. 5 out of 5 stars for Andrea Beaudoin!

Andrea helped me conceive of myself and how I function in a totally new way. She used visualization techniques and thought exercises to help me gain insight and develop my own set of tools. Internal family systems therapy was new to me, and it unlocked a new way of thinking about myself and my strengths. I feel better equipped to deal with obstacles old and new.

Andrea brings such a holistic approach to her clients. She is open, patient, and so supportive. I still have work to do on me, but she is guiding me out of a very dark place. I am so very grateful to have found her.
