Welcome to the conversation.
Everyone needs a little help sometimes. Whether you’re overwhelmed by difficult feelings, or struggling to make sense of unhealthy relationships, or fighting to change destructive habits, reaching out for support and guidance is the best thing you can do.
My name is Andrew Harry and I am a Psychodynamic, Existential, and trauma informed Registered Psychotherapist, and I offer individual psychotherapy for adults of any age.
My practice is a client centered, empathetic, culturally sensitive, and inclusive space, where we collaborate to uncover the deeper roots of your struggle or overwhelming feelings.
The conversation we have in therapy is a new interpersonal experience where you can prioritize yourself without embarrassment and without shame. Together, we make sense and meaning out of your thoughts, feelings, memories, and experiences to foster self awareness and life-long emotional health and mental wellbeing.
Understand your mind,
repair your heart,
change your life.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic techniques identify your psychological defenses, uncover the experiences that taught you to use them, and help you develop new defenses that actually work in your life right now.
Attachment
Learning about attachment helps you understand what makes you feel safe and unsafe in relationships. When you understand yourself, you start to understand other people, and you learn to feel comfortable with anyone.
Existential
The deeps questions of life can have a profound effect on us emotionally. How we answer them creates the foundation for all of our thinking and feeling.
Strengths
You’ve already made it this far, which means that you’re able to cope, even if you don’t believe it yourself yet. Learn to use your strengths and leverage the emotional skills you already have to make progress in the areas you need to improve.
Intersubjective
Therapy happens in the meeting of two people and leverages the influence that we have on each other. You teach me about yourself and the way you see the world, and I lend you my calm, empathic understanding. Together, we practice thinking and feeling in a healthier way.
Guilt & Shame
Worrying that you are a bad person makes every decision difficult and every memory painful. Disarming the sources of your guilt and shame lets you stop obsessing about past mistakes and feel confident in the present moment.
Making things make sense.
Telling the story of your life helps you put your thoughts and your emotions in order. Working through strong emotions and processing difficult memories lets you put old problems on the shelf, where they belong.
You discover hidden patterns, identify the things you want to change, and build up the courage and confidence to actually do it. When you know your own history, you know who you are, what you want, and how to get it.
