Welcome to Andrew Tessmer Counseling

Get accessible and personalized mental healthcare, individual therapy, and career counseling from the comfort of your home.

My approach

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years of experience providing quality mental health care and career counseling services.

I value supporting clients and the communities I serve by providing individual therapy for LGBTQ+ concerns, anxiety, body image concerns & disordered eating, ADHD, and career development concerns.

My approach focuses on exploring what makes each individual thrive, providing empathy and understanding, free from judgment and societal expectations.

I’m also experienced in developing and presenting professional development workshops, continuing education for professionals, and community speaking events.

  • “I couldn’t possibly say enough positive things about my therapist's effectiveness, friendliness, professionalism, compassion, and understanding. He is, in a word, exceptional.”

    Former Client

  • "Our teen feels very comfortable with Andrew. He has opened up so much. We are very happy with the results."

    Parent of Former Adolescent Client

  • "My therapist is just amazing. He is extremely professional, a great listener, and a bright spot in my life. He is intuitive, focused and extremely caring. He made me feel comfortable immediately. He is non-judgmental and the kind of person/therapist who you feel you can talk about anything with."

    Former Client

  • "This is the first time I’ve talked to a therapist, or anyone for that matter, about my life long anxiety. Just talking openly and honestly to someone has taken a lot of weight of my shoulders. I have noticed a significant improvement in areas where I historically have felt anxious, since meeting with Andrew."

    Former Client

  • "My therapist is extremely easy to talk to. I really enjoy our sessions."

    Former Client

  • " My son had his appointment yesterday with Andrew, and it was great! I would highly recommend to anyone seeking guidance about where to go in a career. He walked away feeling happy and relaxed and excited. (Not always like him — he would tell me if he thought it was a waste of time!!) Also, when I read details about his MBTI type, I honestly got tears in my eyes, because it perfectly describes him!"

    Parent of Former Adolescent Client

  • "My therapist has been a great help. Very happy that I found him."

    Former Client

  • "First and foremost Andrew makes you feel at ease and comfortable talking about personal and difficult problems. He listens and questions very carefully in an effort to understand the root of the problem so as to know how to help effectively. "

    Former Client

  • "When my other sons get old enough to graduate high school & look for a career, we will use your services again. I think this is excellent feedback for anyone to have."

    Parent of Former Adolescent Client

  • "I am very appreciative of the professionalism and experience that the practice brings to me. I have been a client for years now and have benefited greatly from the services my therapist."

    Former Client

  • "My therapist is fantastic."

    Former Client

  • " I have known Andrew for 8 years and I have seen, first hand, the level of care, effort, and dedication, he brings to every counseling session. I highly recommend him to anyone. He embodies what a good therapist should be and will do his best to help anyone who crosses his path. He is thoughtful, insightful, and most importantly, he listens and values honest and authentic connection with others"

    Former Colleague

  • "I really enjoy my therapy sessions with Andrew Tessmer. I specifically chose him, because as a gay man I wanted someone who understood my life experiences."
