More about Andrew
- 1 year's experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a firm advocate for expanding access and enhancing therapeutic experiences for queer, Latinx, and BIPOC individuals. As an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist, I support clients of any gender identity or expression. I believe that therapy should be accessible to all. I aim to provide a safe, empathic, and comfortable environment that allows an individual to address their mental health needs at their own pace. I have worked in acute medical settings, homeless services, community mental health, higher education, and HIV+ case management.
