Andrea Swanson, MA, LPC-IT

Welcome! I’m Andrea, a therapist committed to creating a space where you feel heard, empowered, and supported through life’s challenges, celebrations, and everything in between. I offer in-person sessions in Mequon, WI, and virtual sessions across Wisconsin. My approach is personalized to meet you where you are, focus on what matters most, and help you live a life that feels authentically you. Whatever your story, you’re welcome here.

I work with children (ages 7+), teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I’m especially passionate about supporting college students, young professionals navigating workplace burnout, and first responders.

For those seeking deeper healing from trauma or childhood wounds, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—a research-supported approach that helps the brain reprocess painful memories and regulate the nervous system for lasting relief. In addition to EMDR, I use other evidence-based therapies including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that leave you feeling stuck.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): to help you manage intense emotions and stay grounded in the present.

Narrative Therapy: to support the creation of a meaningful, future-focused life story rooted in clarity and self-compassion.

Internal Family Systems (IFS): to acknowledge and validate all parts of you, offering a well-rounded and integrative healing process.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 15 years working with youth and adults in corporate, school, and animal welfare settings. These experiences shape the empathy, perspective, and practical approach I bring to my work. Above all, I feel honored to walk alongside you on your journey—and I look forward to meeting you.

Outside the therapy room, I recharge by spending time with my husband, kids, and pets. I love horseback riding, camping, sipping chai lattes, and (when I’m feeling bold) snowboarding down blue runs!
