Andrew Moldenhauer, LMSW
About me
When you have a visit with me, expect me to be warm, calming, genuine, humorous, and collaborative. I will walk with you in noticing your present and past challenges, and together, we will explore ways to move forward and ultimately achieve your higher goals. My goal is to help you in understanding the root causes of problematic patterns and unhelpful thinking and to develop stronger awareness and regulation of your emotions through building healthy coping skills. Two therapeutic philosophies I stand by are the concepts that our mood follows our behavior and that, in order to find balance in our lives, we must learn how to move between accepting reality as it is and changing ourselves in the hopes of better outcomes. I believe that the most important component of a working therapeutic relationship is the ability to trust and be honest with your therapist. I aim to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable in exploring your concerns. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your personal goals toward feeling well again.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Andrew Moldenhauer. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I was only able to work with Andrew for a short while, but I thoroughly appreciated his insightful suggestions and thoughtful feedback. Andrew is an excellent listener; he was able to take my disjointed thoughts and reiterate and reframe them in ways that helped me gain perspective. His manner is empathetic but also authoritative; he was clear and concise with his suggestions and feedback. I came to Andrew feeling stuck. He un-stuck me and made me feel empowered and less anxious. I'd have happily continued to work with him but I had to cancel my membership; I think we'd just scratched the surface and he has a lot of wisdom and insight share. I highly recommend anyone talk with him.
