Andrew Kushnick Psychotherapy
As a former attorney-turned-psychotherapist, I enjoy helping clients figure out where they're headed. This includes identifying what fulfills you, what resonates with you, what you want your life's purpose to be.
I also specialize in helping clients improve relationships and feel happier / more relaxed. For so many of us, anxiety gets in the way. We become distracted by thoughts about classes, about our friendships, about the climate crisis, about the future, etc. For others, social anxiety or low self-esteem get in the way. Thankfully there are solutions. Let's maximize your communication skills and conflict resolution skills. Let's identify the patterns that are getting in your way, so you can connect to the important people in your life.
I strive to bring genuineness, humor and warmth into the therapy room, but you deserve even more than that. As a former attorney originating from a purely logical mindset, I utilize science-based and evidence-based approaches to generate practical tools to use in your everyday life. Trained in the PACT model of couples therapy, which draws upon insights from neuroscience and attachment theory, I help couples replace frustrating, repetitive patterns of conflict with mutual responsiveness and alleviation of distress. With Attachment-Focused EMDR, together we can heal the impact of critical or dismissive parenting, loss, and persistent conflict in existing relationships. Whether we’re drawing from CBT, mindfulness-based practices, attachment theory or other models, my goal is to help you get to know yourself better, communicate more effectively, strengthen your relationships and better navigate school and work.
