I Trust and Recommend Andra – She Empowers People to Make Change!
I sought counseling with Andra for help with effective communication within my marriage, figuring out how to have peace when I can’t control what others do or say, anxiety, and resolving past traumas. I was feeling anxious and defeated, getting stuck in unhealthy communication patterns, taking on responsibilities that aren’t mine to own, and allowing these things to rob me of my peace.
Andra helped me learn to maintain my peace during a conflict, managing myself, communicating more effectively, holding boundaries, improving my self- talk, and most importantly connecting to God on a deeper level. I identified areas within myself that needed work, recognized my patterns and where they came from, improved my self-image, and let go of baggage from the past.
I am able to see myself more through God’s eyes and who He has created me to be. I’m so grateful to have learned practical tools and visuals to apply the things learned during my time, and how to release the things that don’t serve me. I trust with every piece of my life and recommend Andra my loved ones as she provides a safe environment with no judgment and empowers people to make change!

From My First Session and I Knew I Was in Good Hands with Andra
I recently had the pleasure of working with Andra Prowant, a faith-based counselor who provided me with the support and guidance I needed during a very difficult time in my life. From our first session, I felt comfortable and knew I was in good hands. She is incredibly warm, empathetic, and a great listener.
As someone who values my faith, it was important to me to find a therapist who would integrate my beliefs into the counseling process. Andra provided me with spiritual guidance and encouragement that helped me to find hope and peace in the challenges.
She helped me identify the root causes of my struggles and understand why I turned to the “wine witch”. She gave me practical tools to cope with my emotions and develop healthy habits. Thanks to her, I was able to find healing and move forward in a positive direction in my personal life and in my marriage.
I highly recommend Arise Counseling and Coaching, and especially Andra Prowant to anyone looking for compassionate, professional counseling in the Peachtree City area. I am grateful for all they do!
