Andrea Arias, LCSW
Founder & Clinical Director
Hi, I'm Andrea.
I believe therapy works best when you’re met as a real person, not reduced to a label or treated like a problem to be fixed. My work is about helping people feel understood in a way that allows them to trust themselves and move through life with more clarity and confidence.
I’m a Latina psychotherapist, and my cultural lens shapes how I listen and connect with people. Authenticity matters to me — in therapy and in life. Clients often tell me they trust me because they feel genuinely seen and understood, not analyzed or rushed. There’s space here to explore thoughtfully, feel deeply, and be honest without having to explain or justify yourself.
While diagnoses can be helpful for making sense of patterns and guiding treatment, they are not who you are. In our work together, they’re used as tools, not identities, while keeping your full humanity at the center.
Connection to the body has been an important part of my own life and clinical work. As an athlete and someone who feels deeply, I’ve seen how reconnecting with bodily awareness can help people build self-trust, especially those who tend to live in their heads.
My work is relational and trauma-informed. I use approaches such as EMDR and somatic therapy, always grounded in safety, honesty, and a real human connection.
Harmony Counseling Services grew from this way of working. I created this practice to be a thoughtful, grounded space where people are treated as whole, complex humans. As the founder and clinical director, I’m intentional about building a practice rooted in integrity, care, and respect — for both clients and clinicians.
If you’re considering therapy and aren’t sure where to begin, that’s okay. We can start there.

Some days, we may look fine on the outside, while internally, we’re juggling 50 different things at once. Anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, relationship challenges, or simply trying to figure out the next phase of life can start to feel overwhelming.
I especially enjoy working with young adults and professionals who are balancing career, relationships, friendships, and the many transitions that come with adulthood. You may be entering a new phase of life, struggling with feelings that are difficult to name, or simply realizing that you don’t want to navigate everything alone.
My approach is collaborative and grounded primarily in Narrative Therapy, while also integrating Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and other approaches. I believe you are the expert on your own life. Together, we can explore the stories, expectations, and experiences that may be shaping how you see yourself—and begin making room for new possibilities.
In our sessions, the problem is the problem, not you. We’ll explore your past, present, and future while identifying the strengths you already carry. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overly clinical or intimidating; I value curiosity, honesty, and humor when appropriate.
My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and free to explore who you are and where you want to go. I’ll be there alongside you as you build greater clarity, agency, and trust in yourself.
