Andy Heintz, IADC

Addictions Counselor

My role as a substance abuse counselor is to help clients identify and utilize their strengths and their internal and external resources to achieve sobriety. I work with clients to identify their goals while respecting their autonomy and agency. My goal is to use the skills and knowledge a client already possesses while also assisting them in acquiring new tools and insights that strengthen sobriety. I strive to do this in a way tailored to each client’s unique talents and personalities. I’m dedicated to always treating clients with dignity and respect while providing them with a safe and supportive environment.

I graduated from Kansas State University and received a master’s from Ottawa University in Addiction Counseling. I use a strengths-based, person-centered approach with clients. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and motivational interviewing techniques. I have a passion for helping people pursue and achieve their goals. I have experience providing substance abuse treatment to clients in individual and group settings. I have worked with clients of all age groups and look forward to meeting and working with you!
