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.

When an adult “throws a tantrum,” i.e. yells, screams, or gets emotionally upset in front of a child, it’s important to remind the child that it’s not their fault or their responsibility. We sometimes slip and say things we regret, but we can always repair and shift the energy. Try it out, and share this with your spouse or someone in your life who needs to hear it!

Hi, I’m Andrea. I’m a couples therapist, but my real clients are the next generation.

I help people break the relationship patterns they inherited so they can build something healthier to pass down -

For themselves, for their partners, and especially for the kids watching.

Because your kids are learning how to love by watching how you love.

When your spouse is excited about an event but you are REALLY not... do you start acting out or moping around? Or do you step it up because you know it means a lot to your partner? Small shifts in your attitude can go a long way.

If you feel weighed down by doing so much yourself, start asking your spouse and your kids to chip in more. It might be messy at first, but it will save you so much time in the time in the longterm. Delegating is HARD. But you can do hard things! Share this with a friend who needs the reminder 🩷

He hollered from the kitchen: “”Mom, can you help me find the mayo?””

I said, “”I’ll do that for you, but if I find it, I’m charging you $5.””

Of course, he found it.

I did this because I’m thinking about his future. I don’t want him adding all this extra load to his partner.

They’re not helpless. They just learned to be.

In my latest newsletter, I break down even more about delegation and lightening the mental load. Comment NEWSLETTER below and I’ll send you the link to read!

Showers before BJs?! What’s your take?

03/03/2026

For 21 days I practiced doing small positive inputs to my relationship every single day.

Not only did my husband Chris and I get closer and start truly liking each other again, but I also noticed the relationship with our kids improved, too. Our whole household felt closer and more connected. Chores flowed better. Conflicts got resolved quicker. And it all started with very tiny daily gestures - some of which he didn’t even know I was doing!

It made such an impact that I turned this into a simple email series you can implement yourself - Drop EXPERIMENT in the comments and I’ll send you a link to my 21-Day Relationship Reset Experiment for free!

I’m also writing weekly in my Substack about ways to keep those positive relationship habits flowing. Follow “Love Forward” through the link in my bio or drop NEWSLETTER in the comments and I’ll send it right to you.

Take good care! I’m rooting for you.
