Dr. Andrew Wichterman, LPC, LPC-S

Therapist

Hi, I’m Andrew. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who’s been doing this work for over 18 years—and what I’ve learned is that meaningful evaluation starts with honoring the whole person.

If you’re wondering whether ADHD might be part of your story (or your child’s), I’m here to offer clarity in a way that feels respectful, thoughtful, and deeply human. My approach is rooted in compassion and curiosity—not just checking boxes, but really understanding how emotional, cognitive, relational, and even spiritual layers all play a part.

Let’s make it happen, together.
