Substance Use Therapists in Mooresville, NC

There comes a point in time where we all could use a listening ear or a guidebook for how to overcome life's challenges. From depression to substance use, relationship issues or overcoming past trauma, life can throw you some curve balls that without intervention, could derail your future success. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, at a loss for what to do next, reaching out for help is the perfect first step! Whether your troubles are overtaking your life or you just feel like you aren't quite yourself, we can move through this stage of life together, and come out stronger on the other side.

If you are reading this, just know that you have taken an important first step in your mental health recovery. It has been my privilege to work with a very diverse group of clients of varying races, ethnicities, nationalities, genders and gender identities, sexual orientations, religions, disabilities, etc. I have also worked with clients of all ages, but most of my work has been with those age 13 and older. I draw mainly from the evidence-based treatments of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and dialectical behavioral-informed therapeutic interventions.

When we feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or alone, our ability to function at our best can be greatly impacted. At times it can feel like we are broken, lost, and just going through the motions every day. It can be difficult to see how your life can improve when you feel stuck in the middle of it. Whether your struggles include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or substance use issues it is my goal to help you through this process with compassion, respect, and honesty.

Hello and welcome! I understand how difficult it is to ask for help. My goal is to create a safe space for you to be you- to just be human. Whether you are dealing with the shame of substance use issues, sexual identity concerns, or childhood traumas, I offer space for you to be vulnerable. What I do not provide is judgment. I offer acceptance. I believe we all heal through connection. I am here to support you through your individual journey- whatever that looks like. We can lay the burdens down together. You are not alone.

I liken my therapeutic approach to the Japanese artform of Kintsugi in which broken pieces of pottery are mended together by precious metals, creating an equally or even more beautiful creation than it was in its original state. As a philosophy, if an object has been damaged then it has more of a history and should, therefore, be celebrated and highlighted, rather than hidden or discarded. Just as the broken sections are embraced in Kintsugi I believe that the broken, flawed, imperfect pieces of our life can come together with the good experiences, to form an even more amazing and beautiful life.

Andrews Counseling & Consulting, PLLC was founded in 2016 by Travis & Anthony Andrews. These two brothers were raised in the small town of East Arcadia which is located outside of Wilmington, NC. In their community, the idea of speaking to a therapist was highly unpopular thus causing many of the mental health challenges faced by the community to go unaddressed. They both witnessed how damaging the negative stigma of mental health treatment was to their community and vowed as adults to advocate for mental health awareness, especially in the African American community!
