Getting to know Andrew Popadics
I consider psychotherapy to be a space where difficult experiences can be understood without reducing a person to a diagnosis. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or uncertain about who they are and where their life is going. Some are trying to make sense of intense or longstanding psychological struggles, while others are moving through major changes in identity, relationships, work, or family life. I offer a place to slow things down, speak openly, and explore what is happening beneath the surface without judgment or pressure. Alongside relief from immediate distress, our work can help you develop a clearer understanding of your emotional patterns, relationships, history, and sense of self so that change feels more grounded and sustainable.
In session, I provide a thoughtful, nonjudgemental space informed by psychodynamic, Jungian, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. I specialize in working with individuals living with complex and serious mental health concerns, including depression, bipolar disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I also work extensively with clients navigating questions of identity, major life transitions, and periods of uncertainty or change. I am LGBTQ-affirming and work with individuals across cultural and racial backgrounds. I approach the work with curiosity, care, and respect for each person’s individuality and pace. If you’re drawn to deeper self-understanding and meaningful change, I welcome you to schedule an appointment when the time feels right.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I offer psychotherapy that is warm, engaged, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s individuality. My style is collaborative, emotionally attuned, and nonjudgmental, while also being thoughtful and direct when needed. I aim to create a space where patients can speak openly about what feels painful, confusing, private, or difficult, and where they feel taken seriously in the fullness of their experience. Together, we look at patterns in relationships, emotions, identity, self-image, and behavior, and explore how past experiences and unconscious dynamics may still be shaping the present. I also believe therapy should be alive, human, and practical, not just abstract reflection. My hope is to help patients develop greater insight, self-trust, and the capacity for meaningful change.
I am affirming of LGBTQ+ identities and value providing gender-affirming care for trans, nonbinary, and gender-questioning patients. I welcome conversations about identity, embodiment, transition, dysphoria, relationships, and the emotional complexity that can come with living authentically in the world. Therapy with me is not about forcing people into labels or assumptions, but about helping them better understand themselves and move toward a life that feels more coherent and genuinely their own.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A typical session with me begins by getting a sense of what feels most important or most alive that day, whether that is a current stressor, a recurring emotional pattern, a relationship issue, or something that has felt difficult to put into words. I try to meet patients where they are while also helping them slow down, reflect, and notice deeper themes beneath the immediate problem.
My process is conversational, collaborative, and insight-oriented. Some sessions may focus on exploring present-day challenges in a practical way, while others may go deeper into personal history, relationship dynamics, identity, and unconscious patterns. I often help patients make connections between past and present, inner experience and outer life, so that therapy becomes not just a place to vent, but a place to understand and change. Over time, sessions can help patients develop greater emotional awareness, clearer self-understanding, and a stronger sense of how they want to live and relate to others.
