Andrew Mercer

Andrew Mercer welcomes individuals who are taking steps toward positive change and brings ten years of professional experience to his therapeutic work in Texas. He is licensed to practice counseling in both Illinois and Texas and maintains a professional yet approachable style.

Mercer has worked in private practice as a licensed therapist and has also supported college-aged adults as a life coach. Former and current clients appreciate his honest, straightforward approach to counseling and his patient, compassionate way of holding space so answers can emerge.

He understands that life’s struggles do not have to be overwhelming and that most people benefit from help at some point. Mercer has personally experienced the value of talking through worries with a trained therapist and is familiar with the experience from both sides of the relationship.

Trained in pastoral counseling and at Loyola University in Chicago, he draws from relational schools of thought - psychodynamic, humanistic, and Adlerian - and applies these theories in a pragmatic, straightforward manner to keep the process focused and effective.

With education and training across diverse settings, Mercer works with many different concerns and is particularly able to support spiritual or religious questions, LGBT issues, anxiety, and coping with grief and loss. He looks forward to partnering with people as they take next steps in their journeys.
