Social Work Month Spotlight:
Meet Andrea Lunn

Andrea Lunn is the Founder and Clinical Director of Unwritten Endings. Before opening her private practice, Andrea worked as the Supervisor of Social Services at an inpatient mental health facility, where she gained extensive experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult moments.

In 2018, Andrea launched Unwritten Endings as a solo private practice with a vision of creating a supportive and compassionate environment for both clients and clinicians. By 2019, the practice began expanding into a group model and has continued to grow ever since. She is incredibly proud of the team at Unwritten Endings and feels honored to work alongside clinicians who represent the heart of the vision she first imagined.

Over the years, Andrea has remained passionate about building a practice that reflects the values she believes therapy should embody—compassion, authenticity, and high-quality care. Her vision for Unwritten Endings has always been about more than providing therapy; it’s about creating a space where both clients and clinicians feel supported, respected, and empowered to grow.

Let’s Get to Know Andrea

What is something you want clients to know before they walk into their first session with you?

“Well….I’ve ghosted my own share of therapists in my lifetime, so I understand how intimidating therapy can feel. Making that first call and walking through the door can be the hardest step. Just know you’re not alone – I’m probably a little nervous to meet you too, but that’s just because I care deeply about showing up fully and creating a space where you feel comfortable being yourself.”

What do you love most about the work you do as a therapist?

“I genuinely love connecting with all kinds of people. I learn so much from my clients by hearing how they perceive and interact with the world. Listening has always come naturally to me—even from a young age, I found myself being the person others came to for support. It fills my bucket to help people feel heard, understood, and supported.

One of my favorite things to hear from clients is when they say, “In that moment, I thought to myself, what would Andrea say?” To me, that means the work we’ve done together is starting to stick. Therapy isn’t about clients needing their therapist forever—it’s about helping them build the confidence and insight to navigate challenges on their own. When someone tells me they paused and thought about our conversations before making a decision or responding to a situation, that’s a really meaningful moment.”

What does a “good session” feel like to you as a therapist?

“A good session is when a client feels safe enough to finally say the thing they’ve been holding back—whether it’s a truth, a fear, or a painful experience they’ve never shared before. Those moments of honesty and vulnerability are powerful. When a client trusts me enough to open up like that, it means they know I’ve got their back and that the therapy space is truly safe.”

What strengths do you naturally bring into the therapy room?

“I tend to bring a mix of humor, honesty, and directness into my work. Therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy, and sometimes humor can help people feel more comfortable and open.”
