Going Home for Thanksgiving When You're Not Doing Great
The train ticket is booked. It's still three weeks out, and you're already rehearsing. "So what's next for you?" "How's the job?" "Are you seeing anyone?" You know roughly who's going to ask which one, and roughly where you'll be standing when they do.

Your Adult Kid Won't Go to Therapy. You Can't Make Them. Here's What You Can Do.
You've sent the links. You texted three therapist names that got left on read. You brought the topic up at dinner, gently, and they left the table. They're 21. You can't book an appointment for them, you can't sit in on one, and you can't call the therapist they saw last spring and get any useful information....

My Teen Doesn't Have Friends. How Worried Should I Be?
By October, the lunch tables are set. You ask who they sat with and get "nobody, it's fine." Friday night comes and there are no plans, no texts, nobody asking. Then a photo shows up on someone's story from a party they weren't invited to, and the bedroom door closes a little harder than usual....

"I'm Just Stupid": When Your Preteen Shuts Down the Second Something Gets Hard

Your Client Has the Skills. They Just Can't Use Them at 11pm on a Tuesday.
Your client can name their triggers. They can walk you through what happened before, during, and after a difficult moment without much prompting, spot the cognitive distortion before you do, and tell you exactly which skill applies. Session content is genuinely good.

The Calls Home Are Getting Shorter: When Your Kid Is Struggling at College
Over the first couple of weeks, the calls were longer. Photos of the dorm, a new friend's name, a professor they actually liked. Now it's short texts. "All good." "Busy, call you later." Later doesn't come.

I Can Still Do My Job. That's Kind of the Problem.
It's Sunday, around 6pm, and the feeling arrives right on schedule. Not panic, exactly. More like a weight settling in as the week comes into view. You'll open your laptop on the couch "just to get ahead," answer a message that could have waited until Monday.

Fine at School, Falling Apart at Home: Understanding the After-School Meltdown
It's 3:00pm and you're in the pickup line. The last email from school said your kid is "a pleasure to have in class." They get in the car, and within about four minutes something small sets them off. The wrong snack. A question about the math test. The radio.

Every Conversation With My Teen Turns Into a Fight. What Are We Doing Wrong?
There's a version of this that most parents recognize immediately. You say something neutral. Your kid hears something else. Suddenly you're defending yourself, they're defending themselves, door slamming is involved.

My sessions with Andrew while skiing were among the most fruitful therapy sessions I've had.
There’s something about being in nature, having the space to move, reflect, and dig into issues that need solving while in such a beautiful environment that gave me the perspective I needed to get mentally unstuck. If you want high quality therapy while having an amazing time in the outdoors, Andrew’s your guy for sure.
