The Team
FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Charlotte Andrews, LPC, NCC, ACS, CESP, JD
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Behavior Specialist, Certified Employment Support Professional & Professor of Psychology. I also received my law degree from Mitchell-Hamline School of Law with the goal of practicing mental health law. My passion is to empower others to become their best selves no matter what they've been through. My goal is to educate the community about the importance of mental health treatment in order to play my small part in eradicating the stigma that plagues communities of color about mental illness. As the Founder of "The Lotus W.E.L.L" my team and I continue to work on creating a welcoming holistic space ideal for healing, learning, and growing the WHOLE person.
