Getting to know Andrew Demirdjian

Hi there, I'm Andrew! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Many people come to therapy already knowing why they struggle. What they want is to actually feel different. That’s the work I care most about: helping you change how you relate to your emotions, yourself, and the people around you, not just understand it. My focus I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, or a big life change. I also have deep experience with trauma, shame, perfectionism, and self-criticism. Some of my clients are new to therapy; others have done years of it and still feel stuck. Both are welcome. My approach Sessions with me go beyond talking things through. We’ll also notice what you feel, where you feel it, and the different parts of you that pull in opposite directions. I work mainly with Internal Family Systems (IFS), which meets those parts with curiosity instead of judgment, and I bring in DBT and ACT, plus EMDR when it’s a good fit. My communication style Warm and down-to-earth. I listen closely, reflect back what I’m hearing, and ask questions that help you slow down and notice what’s going on inside. I’m also honest: if something seems worth exploring, I’ll gently say so. You won’t get a blank stare or a lecture, just a real conversation. My journey to mental healthcare I’ve been interested in people for as long as I can remember: why we suffer, what we’re searching for, what helps us change. That led me to psychology and philosophy, then to social work. Since 2021, I’ve worked as a therapist in intensive treatment programs, and I’ve learned that change starts with feeling truly understood. My goals for you We’ll set goals in your own words, whether that’s arguing less, sleeping better, or not being so hard on yourself, and check in on what’s shifting. In my experience, real change often comes from moments of seeing yourself in a new way. Those moments build the confidence to start acting differently.
