Learn more about Andrew

Andrew Thompson is a therapist at The Counseling Center at St. Philip's Episcopal Church, where he works with adolescents, college students, and adults facing anxiety, panic disorder, addiction recovery, and identity-related struggles. He is passionate about helping clients rediscover hope and move toward healing, especially during times of emotional overwhelm or spiritual uncertainty.

Before pursuing a career in counseling, Andrew spent 13 years in ministry, an experience that deeply informs his ability to connect with clients exploring their spiritual identity, working through faith transitions, or recovering from religious disconnection. His counseling style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered- offering a nonjudgmental space where clients can be seen, heard, and supported.

Andrew draws from a variety of evidence-based modalities including expressive arts therapy, child-centered play therapy, and traditional talk therapy. He believes in meeting each client where they are (whether through conversation, creativity, or a mix of both) to help them process pain, build insight, and take meaningful steps forward.

Andrew is certified in the SYMBIS Assessment for premarital counseling and enjoys helping couples build strong foundations for lasting relationships. He is currently under post-graduate supervision as a candidate for licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor – Mental Health Service Provider.

Outside of the therapy room, Andrew enjoys traveling with his wife and two children, playing disc golf, visiting new restaurants, gaming, and cheering on the University of Alabama.
