James McAndrew
I see therapy as a unique opportunity for people to learn more about themselves: their pain, fears, struggles, strengths, hopes, and dreams. In doing so, we can work to overcome past pains and progress towards the life you have always wanted. I am committed to working with individuals as they take this journey of discovery and change. I seek to form authentic relationships with clients in order to create a comfortable and safe environment. I practice from a psychodynamic perspective. This means that I will work with you to understand how your past influences your present. This can only be done in a non-judgmental and welcoming environment in which you feel secure and accepted.
As we continue to work together you should always feel that you are being treated respectfully and non-judgmentally.
I currently offer individual sessions via telehealth. Please do not hesitate to contact me to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit. Choosing a therapist is a difficult and important decision, whatever you decide, I wish you the best.
First session
After our initial session you can expect to walk away feeling at ease and hopeful. As we continue to work together you should always feel that you are being treated respectfully and non-judgmentally. Each session will leave you with improved coping skills as well as new ways of looking at things. While the problems that brought you into therapy might not go away immediately, you will feel more capable of confronting them and managing your emotions after each session.
Strengths
My biggest strengths are my ability to relate to clients and my curiosity. I truly enjoy working with a wide range of people and helping them to make meaningful changes in their lives. My curiosity always drives me to learn more about a person and the look at alternative ways of seeing things. My clinical work has focused on trauma, relational issues, and managing strong emotions. I believe each client is in charge of their treatment and the expert on their experiences.
