About
Andrew holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and works with people who struggle with drugs and their families. He developed "Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP)" to treat a wide range of risky and addictive behaviors. IHRP combines relational psychoanalysis, CBT, and mindfulness within a harm reduction framework. It meets individuals wherever they are on their journey of positive change and works collaboratively to help them discover their truth and identify goals and strategies that best suit their needs. Andrew's therapy approach is described in his book, "Harm Reduction Psychotherapy: A New Treatment for Drug and Alcohol Problems."
