Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of courage. Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or simply seeking greater self-understanding, I’m here to support you on your journey.

There’s no “right” way to ask for help. Just a willingness to start.

Hello! I am Andrea Mandrapa. I am a master’s-level therapist who earned my degree from Concordia University Chicago. I’ve always had a strong passion for supporting mental health and walking alongside children, teens, adults and their families through life’s challenges. My primary focus is on individual therapy, where I work one-on-one to help clients build emotional awareness, develop healthy coping strategies, and grow in confidence and resilience. I believe therapy should be a collaborative, empowering space where every individual feels safe, seen, and supported.

For the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of working at a children’s hospital in the inpatient psychiatry unit, where I provided intensive care and support to young people ages 3 to 17. I have broad and versatile experience, working with children, adolescents, and adults. My journey began with a focus on supporting children, where I gained deep insight into their emotional and developmental needs. This naturally expanded into working closely with parents and caregivers, helping families build stronger, healthier connections.

Over time, this work led me to supporting adults individually, addressing the unique challenges they face whether rooted in parenting, past experiences, or current life transitions. I bring a compassionate, developmentally informed approach to therapy, tailoring my work to meet each client where they are.

Whether you’re seeking support for your child, your teenager, or yourself, I offer a safe and collaborative space to explore, heal, and grow.
