Tucson-Based, Identity-Affirming Wellness Coaching

Dr. Andrew Watley helps you find clarity and confidence with culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ & BIPOC-affirming coaching—online and flexible.

I’m Dr. Andrew Watley, a proud Tucson transplant originally from New Orleans, Louisiana. For the past decade, I’ve worked in the mental health field, first as a licensed therapist and now as a wellness coach. I founded Wellness Awaits when I decided to step away from the formalities of traditional therapy to create a space where I could show up as my most authentic self and help others do the same. My motto? No masks allowed!

As a Black and gay man, I bring both personal insight and professional experience to the table when working with clients navigating the intersections of identity, culture, and wellness. Representation matters, and my goal is to ensure that the mental health and wellness needs of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities are seen, heard, and supported.

I offer online coaching for individuals, couples, and families. While I specialize in BIPOC and Queer issues, Wellness Awaits is open to anyone seeking clarity, confidence, and personal growth, from young adults to elders.

Tucson has quickly felt like home to me. Much like New Orleans, it’s a vibrant melting pot of cultures, traditions, and creativity. Its openness to holistic health and healing is what first drew me here and it’s what continues to inspire me to stay and serve this incredible community.
