Picture
Sometimes we feel in need of someone to talk to, even when nothing seems wrong. We believe that we are experiencing what can be considered normal difficulties or challenges in daily living, and do not prefer to seek a diagnosis of “depression” or “anxiety” simply in order to obtain advice on how to cope with such human problems.

Philosophical practice (sometimes also called philosophical counseling or philosophical midwifery) draws upon the systems of great thinkers like Plato and Aristotle. It applies methods such as questioning, dialogue, and reasoning to problems in human living. These problems can be varied and may include:


  • Life transitions
  • Crises of meaning or value
  • Choosing a vocation or partner
  • Seeking greater happiness or justice
  • Dealing with grief and loss

Andrea earned a Licentiate in Philosophy from the Angelicum in 1994, and her PhD in Philosophy from UST in 2008. She has been a Certified Philosophical Practitioner with the American Philosophical Practitioners Association (APPA) since 2001.
