“Andy and I had sessions for about 2 years. At the beginning I was in need of someone to talk to in order to help me gain clarity over a really hard life experience. During our intake session her inquiries led to me learn of and acknowledge a 15 year old coping mechanism that had greatly influenced how my life up until that point transpired. It was that moment I knew I had found the person I was in search of. Andy continued to hold up a mirror to the parts of myself that I had forgotten, didn't know of and couldn't recognize. She helped me come to a place within myself that allowed for deeper parts of self awareness and self appreciation. Because of talk therapy I now have tools to handle situations that would've otherwise triggered me to fawn (hide). Andy also continued to learn of various healing modalities that she inserted into our sessions- which made me feel like I was always talking to someone who cared deeply about being the best they could be. ”

Getting to know Andrea (Andy) Charidemou Randell

Hello and Welcome! I’m Andy, LCSW, with a Master’s in Social Work from City University of New York, Hunter College. I work with individuals and couples who are interested in cultivating a deeper connection with themselves and increasing their capacity for connection with others. My approach is rooted in the belief that the symptoms you may want to work on are not flaws—they are protective and adaptive responses to past experiences. Together, we’ll explore and make sense of them, update what’s no longer helpful, and create space for meaningful, lasting change. Therapy with me is active, affirming, and collaborative. I am not a blank-slate therapist; you can expect attunement, authenticity, and a bit of humor and metaphor. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and liberation-based principles. I pull from various modalities to best support each client’s unique needs, gravitating toward experiential approaches that help clients connect to their emotional and somatic experience, leading to deeper healing and change. My clients are often couples or individuals navigating consensual non-monogamy, queer, neurodivergent, first-gen, self-aware-but-stuck humans who are looking for an affirming therapist with shared identities and lived experience. If this resonates with you, let’s connect!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am here to support, listen and grow with YOU. No topic is os "too much" and I want you to feel safe, validated and affirmed in sharing anything you are feeling with me. In our first session, I will work to get to know you and the important feelings, emotions and behaviors you are experiencing. We will then explore where you are looking for change in these experiences and how we can work together to meet your goals and desired outcomes. The most important part of our work is the therapeutic relationship and you feeling seen, heard and understood!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I will be in the room getting to know you and from there we will work on you specific and unique needs together. I will participate and provide feedback and insights when I feel it is beneficial to you. I will always provide a compassionate and warm environment when working with you!
