Hello, my name is Andrew. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, panic, PTSD, or mood instability on their own. Many of my clients are high-functioning but struggling internally and are looking for clarity, stability, and a more structured path forward. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management when appropriate. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and focused on understanding the full picture of what you are experiencing, identifying contributing biological and psychological factors, and developing a clear, individualized treatment plan. I prioritize steady, realistic progress over time, with an emphasis on improving focus, emotional regulation, sleep, energy, and overall day-to-day functioning. Care is structured, consistent, and tailored to help patients build long-term stability rather than short-term symptom suppression. If you are ready to better understand what you are going through and take meaningful, structured steps toward feeling better, I would be glad to work with you.
During our first session, we will focus on understanding what brings you in and what you are currently experiencing in detail. I will ask questions about your symptoms, history, daily functioning, and any previous treatments to get a clear picture of your needs and goals. Together, we will identify the main challenges you are facing and begin clarifying what improvement would look like for you in the short and long term. This may include discussing focus, mood, anxiety, sleep, energy, and overall functioning, depending on your concerns. We will also start developing an initial treatment plan, which may include diagnostic clarification, medication options when appropriate, and practical next steps you can begin implementing right away. My approach is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping you leave the first visit with a clearer understanding of what you are experiencing and a direction forward. You can expect a supportive, respectful, and focused conversation where we balance understanding your story with building an actionable plan. Ongoing care will be tailored and adjusted together over time based on your response and goals.
My greatest strength is providing structured, evidence-based psychiatric care that helps patients move from feeling overwhelmed and uncertain to having a clear understanding of what is driving their symptoms and what to do about them. I focus on careful diagnostic evaluation, thoughtful medication management when appropriate, and clear treatment planning that is tailored to each individual. Patients often tell me they appreciate that I am both approachable and direct, which allows for honest conversations while still maintaining a focused, goal-oriented approach to care. I aim to reduce confusion around symptoms by helping patients understand how anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood-related conditions may be affecting their daily functioning. My approach is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on measurable improvements in focus, mood stability, sleep, energy, and overall functioning. I prioritize steady progress over time, with ongoing adjustments based on response and goals rather than quick or reactive changes. Overall, I aim to create a supportive but structured therapeutic relationship where patients feel heard, understood, and actively guided toward long-term stability and improved quality of life.
I work best with adults who are motivated to better understand their mental health and are open to a structured, evidence-based approach to treatment. Many of my clients are professionals, students, or individuals managing busy lives who are dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, or stress-related challenges and are looking for clarity, stability, and improved day-to-day functioning across work, relationships, and daily responsibilities. My ideal clients are those seeking a thorough psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management when appropriate, rather than a quick or one-time solution. They value collaboration, honest communication, and a clear, goal-oriented treatment plan, and are willing to engage consistently in follow-up care, reflect on their progress, implement recommendations between visits, and make thoughtful, incremental adjustments over time. I am a particularly good fit for individuals who feel overwhelmed, mentally stuck, or inconsistent in their focus, mood, or energy, and who want a practical, organized path forward. Many of my patients are focused on improving productivity, emotional regulation, sleep, and overall quality of life through steady, structured progress rather than rapid or short-term changes, with an emphasis on building sustainable habits and routines. I focus on working with patients who are open to a comprehensive evaluation and a thoughtful, measured treatment process tailored to their specific needs. My approach emphasizes safe and appropriate prescribing, realistic expectations, consistency in care, and long-term stability, with treatment that is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in best clinical practices.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support individuals in achieving their mental health goals. In my practice, I integrate CBT techniques to help patients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build practical skills for managing challenges in their daily lives. My approach is tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring that therapy remains patient-centered and evidence-based. Whether addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or ADHD, I focus on empowering patients with tools to foster resilience, emotional regulation, and long-term growth.
Motivational Interviewing
I incorporate Motivational Interviewing (MI) into my practice as a collaborative and patient-centered approach to facilitate meaningful change. My experience with MI includes helping individuals explore and resolve ambivalence, clarify their goals, and enhance their motivation to pursue positive lifestyle changes. By fostering an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment, I guide patients in identifying their values, strengths, and aspirations, empowering them to take ownership of their decisions and progress. This method is particularly effective in supporting patients managing behavioral changes or navigating complex emotions related to their mental health.

I can’t say enough good things about From the very first session, he created an environment where I felt genuinely heard, understood, and respected. He takes the time to listen without rushing, and his approach is both thoughtful and compassionate. I truly feel lucky to have found him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is not only skilled, but so approachable, warm and easy to talk to. He explains things clearly, and never makes me judged.

I was referred to Grow which subsequently led to Andrew Guro by my Primary Physician. Andrew Guro is both excellent and receptive to the things I was conveying to him that pertained to my specific impediments. This was greatly appreciated and deserves recognition. Thank you Dr. Guro.
