About Andrea Hughes

I approach counseling with hope, authenticity, and compassion, offering care that is client-centered, non-judgmental, warm, and practical. I use an eclectic therapy model that allows me to personalize care to each client’s unique goals, needs, and thoughtfully integrate therapeutic approaches that best support emotional healing, spiritual growth, and lasting change.  

I have worked with teens, families, marriages, and individual adults in counseling agencies since 2015. I am trained in most trauma focused evidence-based therapy models: EMDR, IFS, TF-CBT, DBT, Somatic, Sand Therapy, and others.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in human relations from Point University in 2007, and Masters degree in Professional Clinical Counseling from Richmont Graduate University in 2014. I hold a current license through Georgia Composite Board of Professional Counselors, Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists.  I am also a Board Certified Professional Christian and Pastoral Counselor through American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC).

Together, we can work to identify and address the root causes of your pain in a safe, supportive, and faith-centered space. Because therapy has been a deeply life-changing part of my own Christian journey, I understand how much courage it takes to ask for help. I am especially passionate about walking alongside those who feel overwhelmed by doubt, trauma, anxiety, depression, confusion, questions about God, shame, grief, or other emotional struggles. I understand how heavy life can feel when you are simply trying to make it through each day, and I also know the hope and healing that can come with the right support. My goal is to help you move beyond survival and begin experiencing greater peace, freedom, and wholeness. 

I offer a free initial 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit and am happy to answer any questions you may have. I know this process can feel scary, but it is worth it, and you are worth it. Please email or call me in whatever way feels most comfortable. I look forward to hearing from you.
