Andrew, the clinician, holds a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Converse University and is licensed as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate (LMFT-A). He describes his approach as holistic, systemic, and evidence-based, examining concerns from multiple angles informed by research while tailoring therapy to each client’s life experiences, goals, and concerns. He is personally Christian and states openness to clients of varying belief systems, identities, backgrounds, and cultures.
Primary therapy models include solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with aspects of systemic models. Andrew’s work draws on the view that while the past can be informative, the primary focus is on practical solutions and building strategies for the future.
