      <image:title>About - Andrea Baumgarten, LPC</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m a licensed professional counselor dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges, including childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, and loss. I provide therapy to individuals across Texas, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), among other evidence-based approaches. With extensive experience in community mental health, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from diverse backgrounds, which has deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, personalized care. As a bilingual therapist (English &amp; Spanish), I aim to create a supportive and inclusive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Beyond my work as a therapist, I’m also a wife and a mother to two energetic kids. An experience that continually strengthens my understanding of life’s joys and challenges.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - My approach to therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Because I’ve walked my own path of grief and resilience, I deeply understand the weight of pain, uncertainty, and self-doubt. This perspective has allowed me to connect with my clients on a meaningful level, offering not just professional guidance, but genuine empathy. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion with the goal of creating a safe, supportive environment where you feel understood and validated. Together, we’ll work to process and explore past experiences or life transitions, helping you gain clarity and build resilience. In our sessions we’ll explore the emotions underlying low self-esteem, self-defeating thoughts, and self-destructive behaviors, always advocating for self-love and self-compassion. My ultimate wish is to help you gain a healthier, more fulfilling relationship with yourself and others.</image:caption>
