Getting to know Andrew Sutherland

Hi there, I'm Andrew! Do you feel like you should be enjoying life more? Do thoughts of the past or images from a future keep you from moving forward with the things you want to do? Do you feel as if you are a passenger in your life rather than the one driving action, growth, change, and happiness? My focus I use EMDR to help people process traumatic memories/experiences. If you have an uncomfortable or disturbing memory that shows up unbidden in your day to day life, we should chat and see if we are a good fit together. I'm looking for clients who want to make some changes and I will support you along the way. My approach I understand. I felt the same way before I began my mental health journey. I use a client centered approach and tailor my work to what you need. You are in the driver's seat. Together, we will collaboratively work to help you become what you have only imagined My communication style I like to have conversations with the people for whom I am working. Gaining a sense of safety and comfortability is a huge priority when working with clients. I will bever bully you or force you to make changes that you are not ready to take on. As I said previously, we are a team. I'm on your side. My journey to mental healthcare I was involved in Theatre for 35 years. I came from a background with a lot of trauma. I never felt satisfied and continually thought, "Oh well...I guess this as good as it gets." During Covid, I went and got my second master's degree at 53 years old. I never thought I'd find something I was more passionate about than theatre. I did. My goals for you I believe in defining an issue, understanding how it affects you, and finding out what direction you want to go in. Once we know what the therapeutic goals are, I will tailor an approach that puts those goals within reach.
