Meet Andrea Aichele – Supporting College Students Through Life’s Ups and Downs

College is full of opportunities, challenges, and big changes—sometimes all in the same day. Between balancing classes, athletics, work, relationships, and your own mental well-being, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or stuck. Andrea Aichele understands. She has a gift for meeting college students right where they are and helping them navigate this important stage of life with compassion, practical tools, and encouragement.

Andrea works with young adults from all walks of life, but she has a special passion for supporting college students and athletes. She knows the pressure you might feel to perform—not only academically or athletically, but also socially and personally. In her sessions, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space to unpack whatever’s on your mind, whether it’s stress, anxiety, relationship issues, burnout, low motivation, or the challenge of adjusting to life away from home.

Her approach is warm, approachable, and collaborative. She believes you’re the expert on your own life—her role is to help you clarify your thoughts, discover your strengths, and develop strategies to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you. She’s skilled at making therapy feel less intimidating and more like an honest, supportive conversation with someone who truly cares.

Andrea especially enjoys working with students to:

Manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

Navigate the ups and downs of athletic performance and identity

Build confidence and self-esteem

Cope with homesickness, loneliness, or big transitions

Find balance between academics, extracurriculars, and personal life

What students often say about working with Andrea is that she “gets it.” She doesn’t just listen—she helps you take tangible steps toward feeling better and building a more balanced, fulfilling life. She knows that college is a unique season, and she’s committed to helping you make the most of it without losing sight of your well-being.

If you’ve been feeling like you could use some extra support—whether for a specific challenge or just to stay grounded in a busy, demanding season—Andrea is here for you. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to take the first step toward feeling more like yourself again.

Your challenges are valid. Your goals are possible. And Andrea Aichele is ready to help you get there.
