Cardinal Hope and Healing LLC
Welcome. I'm Andrea Jackson, LICSW, LCSW, PMH-C, a virtual therapist supporting college students and young adults across New York, Washington, DC, Virginia, Vermont, and Utah. The college years and early stages of adulthood can be exciting, but they can also bring stress, anxiety, self-doubt, loneliness, relationship challenges, academic pressure, and uncertainty about the future. You may feel overwhelmed by expectations, struggle with perfectionism, or find yourself questioning who you are and where you're headed. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and develop tools to navigate these challenges with greater confidence. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we'll explore what is contributing to your distress, build practical coping strategies, strengthen self-awareness, and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I draw from evidence-based approaches to help clients manage anxiety, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. As a Black woman therapist and first-generation college graduate, I understand some of the unique challenges that can arise when balancing academic goals, family expectations, cultural identity, and personal growth. I strive to provide culturally responsive, affirming care where you feel respected, supported, and able to show up as your authentic self. Whether you're adjusting to college, preparing for graduation, navigating a career transition, managing a difficult relationship, coping with grief, or simply trying to find your footing, you don't have to figure it all out alone. I would be honored to support you in building a life that feels more balanced, connected, and aligned with your values.

Sometimes therapy feels like it’s going nowhere, as if you’re just getting a listening ear, without actually learning how to get better. If you’d like to get real tools for handling life’s challenges, and you’re ready to put in the work, I can help. Maybe you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, phobias, OCD, sleep troubles, or dating and relationship issues. Whatever you're facing, you’re probably putting a lot of pressure on yourself to figure things out. Working with me will challenge you to change the way you think and make life more enjoyable. When we meet, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other and coming up with the most appropriate plan of attack. You’ll let me know what feels most important to work on first. Together we’ll identify where you want to go and what’s been getting in your way. With support and practice, you’ll master the skills you need to get there ... and to help yourself feel better for the rest of your life. Before entering mental health counseling, I spent 25 years as a journalist and audio producer, practicing deep curiosity about people—and how to dismantle the often painful stories we tell ourselves. I'm also a stepmom to three amazing young adults. If you value a warm, down-to-earth attitude combined with clinical know-how (and humor), we may be a fit. In-person sessions are available in Rochester, New York; telehealth available anywhere in New York state.
