About Andy Lenon

As a dedicated husband, father of two, and passionate advocate for adolescent mental health, I've devoted my career to helping young people become the best versions of themselves. My journey began when I started my career working at an inpatient mental health facility, an experience that profoundly shaped my perspective on mental health. For the past 18 years, I've served as a school counselor, honing my expertise in solution-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. With a deep fascination for neuroscience, I've developed a unique approach to guiding adolescents through their formative years. My extensive experience has equipped me with valuable insights into college admissions, scholarship opportunities, and mental health support.
