Meet Andrea Lahana: Therapist, Guide, and Companion on Your Healing Journey
Now accepting new clients at Elliant Counseling Services.
At Elliant Counseling, we believe therapy is more than a place to talk about what hurts; it’s a sanctuary for becoming who you truly are. It’s about weaving together the parts of you that feel scattered, holding space for your pain while nurturing your potential, and finding practical tools to live with more presence, freedom, and self-trust.
Andrea Lahana embodies this vision.
As a therapist, Andrea brings a grounded, warm, genuine, and deeply attuned presence to her work. Her approach is holistic, weaving together mind, body, and spirit to support the full spectrum of your healing journey. She understands that seeking therapy often comes at a tender point in life, whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, spiritual questioning, or a sense of disconnection from yourself.
Andrea meets you where you are, honoring your pace while gently guiding you toward clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of self.
A Holistic Approach Rooted in Mindfulness and Embodiment
Andrea holds a master’s degree in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University, where she trained in approaches that honor the whole person. She integrates modalities including:
Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand and care for your inner parts
Somatic Experiencing and body-based practices to release trauma held in the body and cultivate felt safety
Brainspotting for deep nervous system healing
Spiritual exploration and transpersonal psychology for those seeking to integrate meaning and soul into their healing process
Mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity
Andrea’s background as a yoga teacher further deepens her understanding of the body-mind connection, offering clients practical tools for grounding and embodiment that extend beyond the therapy room.
Therapy That Honors Your Inner Wisdom
Andrea believes that you are not broken, you are becoming. She sees each client as innately whole, even when life’s challenges and protective patterns obscure that truth. Her role is not to “fix” you but to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can meet yourself with compassion, curiosity, and acceptance.
Clients appreciate Andrea’s ability to hold both lightness and depth in therapy. She is warm and approachable, offering a grounded presence that allows clients to explore vulnerable territory with safety. At the same time, she is skilled at navigating the deeper layers of trauma, grief, and identity work that many clients bring into the room. Andrea shows up unapologetically herself in session so her clients feel safe to do the same.

Beyond Symptom Management: Toward Wholeness and Aliveness
Therapy with Andrea is not just about symptom relief, though that often comes. It is about building a relationship with yourself that is rooted in trust, compassion, and spaciousness. It is about learning to befriend your inner experience so you can move through life with more freedom and integrity.
Andrea believes that healing can be creative and collaborative. She often invites clients to explore somatic practices, mindfulness exercises, creative visualization, and parts work to integrate what is discussed in session into daily life. Her sessions are spacious yet structured, allowing you to bring your full self while moving toward your goals.
Why Andrea Chose This Work
Andrea’s passion for this work is rooted in her own experiences of healing through mindfulness, yoga, and therapy. She understands the courage it takes to step into therapy and the vulnerability it requires to look within. She also knows the profound transformation that can happen when you are supported by someone who sees your wholeness, even when you can’t see it yet. She believes wholeheartedly that the ones who can help the most are the ones who have been through it themselves.
This is what Andrea offers her clients: A place to come home to yourself, reclaim your inner wisdom, and walk toward the life you long for.
