Who We Are
Hello, I’m Andreea.
I believe that healing begins with feeling truly understood. As the founder of Solution Focused Counseling, I am dedicated to providing a warm, supportive, and collaborative space for adults, couples, and families across the Chicago North Shore and beyond.
With over a decade of clinical experience, I know that every person’s story is unique. I am passionate about helping you rediscover connection, resilience, and hope. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship distress, I am here to help you feel empowered and equipped to create meaningful change.
My Approach: My style is practical, compassionate, and insight-oriented. I tailor our work to your specific needs, balancing emotional support with actionable steps toward lasting growth.
Background: I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and a Bachelor’s in Social Work from Northeastern Illinois University. Over the past ten+ years, I have worked in private practice, community mental health, and school settings, giving me a deep understanding of how to support clients through life's complexities, from identity development to reintegrating into family and community environments.
Solution-focused counseling exists to help individuals reclaim their voice, rewrite limiting narratives, and move confidently towards the life they want. While the past may shape us, it does not have to define us. By focusing on strengths, goals, and practical solutions, we create a compassionate space where clients can heal from anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship distress and build a future aligned with their values.
