“Andrew is the best mental health practitioner I’ve had. He’s very patient and understanding, and will dig deeper to understand what you mean/how to solve a problem. He’s also very knowledgeable and accountable, and his experience shines through every time we talk. ”

“I've been working with Andrew Clajivo at Sway for the past few months, and I can't recommend him enough. From our very first session, he took the time to really listen to my concerns and made me feel understood—something that hasn’t always been my experience with mental health providers.
Andrew has a deep understanding of bipolar disorder and explains things in a way that actually makes sense. He worked with me to fine-tune my medication plan while also emphasizing the importance of therapy and lifestyle adjustments. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his patients, and I never feel rushed in our appointments.”

What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me feels structured, steady, and deeply supportive. Clients often tell me that our sessions help them feel grounded and understood in a way they have not experienced before. I take the time to learn your patterns, your values, and your goals so we can build a clear path forward together.
Many clients choose to meet weekly or frequently because consistency helps reinforce stability and insight. I blend medication management, therapeutic dialogue, lifestyle strategies, and metabolic psychiatry when appropriate. Throughout our work I stay closely attuned to your progress, adjusting treatment collaboratively so you feel both supported and empowered.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your symptoms, history, strengths, and goals. From there we create a personalized treatment plan that may include medication, therapeutic work, mood tracking, and metabolic psychiatry tools such as ketogenic strategies, sleep and wake rhythm support, and lifestyle based interventions.
Sessions are collaborative and active. Many clients choose weekly or biweekly appointments to build momentum, deepen insight, and maintain long-term stability. Together we develop a steady rhythm that supports emotional clarity, resilience, and a more grounded everyday life.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $400 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $200 for 30 minutes
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
