About Andre

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in behavioral health services since 2008. I received an MS in Social Work from Columbia University. I identify as a Black, bi+ male of queer experience. I focus my life and my life's work on the advancement of people with oppressed identities overall wellbeing in mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in treating people utilizing a person centered model to validate one's lived expereince. I have experience in helping clients with LGBTQ+ related issues, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and coping with life changes. I approach therapy with a recognition that one's lived epxerienced is valid. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Instead of focusing on how to make one feel better in society, I often help people realize ways to shape their surroundings in ways that make them feel safer and more validated. I often utilize REBT, psychodynamic, schema therapy, and attachment theory approaches in my work. I focus on helping people strengthen the way they show up in the world, specifically increasing their authenticity and self-worthiness. My style balances between challenging and encouraging with humor. In building a positive, trustworthy relationship, you will inspire your authentic self. You will embolden the authentic you as you learn the difference between who you are, who you want to be, and who others expect you to be. Perfectionism be gone! We will validate you, because you are worthy! It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Read more Show less
