Celebrating Compassionate Leadership: Honoring Andrea McGowan, LPC

At Resilience Counseling & Social Skills Center, we are proud to celebrate the dedication and leadership of Andrea McGowan, LPC, Clinical Director of our Stafford and Fredericksburg offices. Andrea’s leadership embodies the values that define Resilience — compassion, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to supporting both our clients and our team members.

Andrea has played a vital role in fostering a workplace culture built on empathy, collaboration, and professional growth. Her ability to lead with both heart and vision has empowered her teams to deliver exceptional care while maintaining a strong sense of connection and purpose.

Recently, Andrea’s staff created a “THANKFUL” appreciation wall filled with personal notes of gratitude and reflection — a heartfelt tribute to her impact as a mentor, clinician, and leader. The display stands as a symbol of how her guidance and compassion have inspired those around her and strengthened the spirit of our Resilience community.

We are deeply grateful for Andrea’s ongoing leadership and her dedication to helping our teams — and the individuals and families we serve — grow stronger every day. Her example reminds us that true resilience begins with kindness, teamwork, and the belief that healing happens together.

Thank you, Andrea, for leading with grace and gratitude.
