He has been trained in psychodynamic techniques, Functional Family Therapy (FFT), and the Need-Adapted Treatment Model (NATM, also called Open Dialogue). Andrew’s work is deeply informed by object relations and attachment perspectives; fostering a safe holding environment for clients with out-of-control sexual behaviors and other clinical disturbances is central to his approach. Andrew completed a two-year program in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the Contemporary Freudian Society. Andrew has worked for several community-based mental health programs including Jewish Board and the Visiting Nurse Service of NY where he provided psychotherapy for families in the child welfare system and for individuals diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness.
