Hi, I’m Andrea Works.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in Houston, Texas.

It’s my deep belief that you already hold the wisdom, power, and resilience to live an intentional, grounded, and fulfilling life—not just one of survival, but of wholeness.

But here’s the truth: for many of us—especially Black, Indigenous, and People of Color—that journey begins with unlearning what we had to become just to make it through. High achievement, emotional suppression, over-responsibility, perfectionism... these were brilliant survival strategies. But they may now be keeping you from the connection, peace, and authenticity you deserve.

With over a decade of experience, I specialize in working with high-performing men and women of color who are carrying complex trauma—whether rooted in childhood abuse, religious trauma, racialized stress, or generational pain. My approach is body-based, culturally aware, and trauma-informed, helping you heal what words alone can’t reach.

You may be successful on paper—but struggling to feel safe in relationships, present in your body, or truly connected to yourself. You may be tired of self-sabotaging, overworking, or chasing worth through achievement. If so, you’re in the right place.

You’ve done everything right. Now let’s heal what was never yours to carry.

Chirotony: the extension of hands in bestowing a blessing.

And that’s what therapy can be- an extended blessing.


My Approach

Taking a body-mind approach, we will combine mindful-based cognitive practices with somatic awareness to achieve full embodiment. In session, you will develop practical skills and tools that will rebuild self-trust and confidence, creating a more balanced life.

My Motto

I do my thing and you do your thing

I am not in this world to live up to your expectations

And you are not in this world to live up to mine

You are you, and I am I

And if by chance we find each other it’s beautiful

If not it could not be helped.
