Andrea Pugh

Andrea Pugh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses person-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients change thinking patterns and behaviors. She often brings warmth and lightness to sessions, using humor, smiles, and laughter alongside holistic approaches to create a welcoming space where clients can grow and accept necessary change.

Andrea approaches treatment as a collaborative process that relies on transparency, honesty, and accountability, and she believes clients are the experts of their own stories with strengths to draw upon when facing challenges. She acknowledges that beginning therapy can require courage and honors that first step.

She earned a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology from Louisiana State University in Shreveport. Andrea is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas (LPC 85622) and Oregon (LPC C7396), and she is also licensed in Maryland. Since 2011 she has worked with children and adults ages 5 and up in schools, community mental health agencies, substance abuse clinics, and corrections.

Her clinical experience includes treating addiction, anger management, depression, anxiety, and trauma, and she has extensive experience working with individuals who experience symptoms of serious mental illnesses such as Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. Andrea is based in Texas and has ten years of professional experience.

Outside of work she enjoys time with family and friends and with her black Labrador retriever, Bentley. She likes to travel, attend concerts, dance, sing, and laugh loudly, and she looks forward to working with new clients.
