Hello.

A bit more about my background and training.:

I'm Andrea Kremer, and I’m a mental health counselor licensed in Massachusetts (LMHC) and Maine (LCPC), and a Registered Relationship Therapist with COSRT in the UK. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Cambridge College, with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy. 

In my postgraduate training, I worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, from adolescents to adults, in community mental health and group practice settings. Some of the issues I helped clients manage included anxiety and phobias, depression, substance use disorder, trauma, chronic illness, relationship issues, infidelity, and divorce.

In 2024, I completed a 2-year postgraduate fellowship in couples therapy with the Psychodynamic Couple and Family Institute of New England (PCFINE), where I was introduced to psychodynamic concepts in working with couples. I also integrate principles from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method, tailoring an approach that fits each client’s unique needs. I keep my caseload small so I can give each client the time and attention they need, and keep myself current on continuing education and emerging research.

Alongside formal training, I follow leading thinkers in the field of relationship counseling, including Esther Perel, Dr. Orna Guralnik, and Dr. Alexandra Solomon. Other mental health experts whose wisdom informs my work: Dr. Stephen Hassan on coercive control, Kristin Neff on self-compassion, Dr. Peggy Kleinplatz on optimal sexual experiences, Dr. Eli Sheff and Martha Kauppi on non-monogamy/polyamory, and Dr. Emily Nagoski on female sexuality, long-term intimacy, and burnout. 

When not seeing clients, I’m proud to serve on the Boards of Directors of the Massachusetts Mental Health Counselors Association (MAMHCA), the New England Association for Family and Systemic Therapy (NEAFAST), and the Psychodynamic Couple and Family Institute of New England (PCFINE). It’s important to me to support not only my clients, but also my fellow mental health professionals.
