Andrea Johnson Hope Rising

Andrea is a pre-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working toward licensure. Andrea received her Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy from Bethel University of Minnesota. She also holds an undergraduate degree in Finance from the University of Minnesota, Carlson School of Management.

After a decade in a corporate career, a series of reflections led me to a shift in my professional life as well as many perspectives I had previously clenched to. While I love my new vocational path I am constantly reminded that I have not "arrived" and that life is a series of arrivals and departures, feeling lost and finding hope. My goal is to help others learn to sit in their pain when it is necessary and find hope to move forward too. 

I approach therapy from a position of great humility and even greater wondering. I will seek to know you better and hopefully help you to know you better too. 

When I am not seeing clients, I can be found in many places. The top contenders include spending time with my three young children, supporting my partner in running a small business or savoring precious pockets of time in community with friends and family. 

I have found a passion for supporting individuals and couple's navigating emerging adulthood as well as the trenches of parenthood. Regardless of where you find yourself, I would be honored to sit with you.

The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.
