Andrea Dindinger

Andrea Dindinger I help people create beautiful relationships even if you think it's not possible. I won’t eliminate your anxiety: I’ll help you befriend it. The anger.

I won’t cure your depression: I’ll help you discover what it’s teaching. You're not broken.... I’m Andrea Dindinger, LMFT. For 15 years I have specialized in helping people create meaningful, fulfilling intimate relationships. I love working with motivated people who are really ready to see some real change in their lives. Sometimes that means helping couples navigate the rough waters of distance, arguing, or betrayals. Sometimes that means helping individuals figure out who they are, and who they’re looking for, and what they won’t settle for anymore. My parents divorced when I was a teenager, and I went on to experience my own divorce at 32. I had no idea when I was going through all that pain that divorce would come to be my greatest teacher. I can empathize with every part of a relationship on the brink. I’ve been through the fear. The feelings of failure. And...I came out the other side to find love again and create a happy family, so I can also empathize with the hope, the excitement, the near-disbelief that life can come around and reward you with such a gift after you’ve been through so much pain. I’m passionate about connection. And to a person, my clients will tell you that I’m invested and energetic and caring and engaged. I believe that our patterns make sense and have wisdom in them. I love helping people bring the unconscious to light, and helping them learn to be guided by a deep, heartfelt wisdom inside. If you’re ready to do the work, call me. If you want to to figure out why love hasn’t worked out for you, or what you should do next in your relationship, or how to get past that deep down fear that you are marked and marred and unworthy, call me.

If Valentine’s Day is bringing up how disconnected you really feel, it might be time to bring it up. See what one simple conversation could do.

If Valentine’s Day feels like pressure, why not change up the plan? My husband and I made a pact to celebrate on the 15th and it just feels so much better. Beyond the day itself, remember it’s about so much more than just that one day. Share this with your spouse and see what you can come up with!

Valentine’s Day has never really been my thing.

As adults, it often comes with a lot of expectations that don’t match real life, and that gap can leave people feeling more disappointed than connected.

In my newest Love Forward newsletter, I explore why Valentine’s Day feels so loaded for so many of us and what actually helps relationships feel closer. Spoiler: it’s not expensive dinners or big gestures.

It’s presence. Attention. Intention.

I also share a few simple, meaningful ways to use Valentine’s Day as a moment to reconnect rather than perform romance, inspired by what I learned during my 21-Day Relationship Reset Experiment.

If you’ve ever felt underwhelmed by Valentine’s Day or quietly wished for something more real in your relationship, I think you’ll resonate with this one.

It’s the 5 year anniversary of publishing my newsletter! And I’m celebrating with a new name, a new look, and a new home for the newsletter on Substack.

When I first started writing it, we were still in the thick of the pandemic, and so many marriages were struggling. I wondered if there were a way to give more people tools and support given how limited my capacity was with 1-1 clients.
And so my newsletter was born. It’s been an incredible pleasure to write it and to receive people’s responses over the last 5 years, and I’m so grateful to keep it going!
Comment below to tell me what brought you here - I look forward to connecting!

If you’re having trouble finding time for date nights, why not try a focused 5 minutes a day on your partner?
It’s challenging in its own right, but those tiny gestures can create really big shifts in your dynamic!
Here’s what it did for us after 21 days:
🩷We like each other again.
🩷The house feels softer.
🩷Repair happens faster.
I share this as a couples therapist of 20+ years and as a wife who still has to practice what she teaches ;)
If you want to try the 21-day experiment for yourself, drop EXPERIMENT in the comments and I’ll send you the link! ❤️

The script we all need! Listen, sometimes we lose our cool in front of our kids. It’s not ideal, but it happens. But the more important thing is to learn how to repair in front of them.

For more practical tools like this to make your relationship even better (not just for you but for your kids), make sure you’re getting my newsletter! Drop NEWSLETTER in the comments and I’ll send it over to you.
