Andrew Mohamed, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Andrew!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker originally from NYC, and loving the California experience! I take a collaborative approach with my clients in identifying problem areas that are influencing unhealthy dynamics in their lives. These can be depressive experiences, anxiety-riddled moments, concerns around various relationships in your life.

My focus

I enjoy working with motivated adults and couples who are curious about understanding how their past may be impacting their present, or gain more awareness of what’s going on for them. I’m interested in working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, multigenerational trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

My approach

I utilize a psychodynamic approach with an emphasis on mindfulness techniques to build a healthier means of communication, self-awareness, and self-acceptance. I put great value in growing a positive therapeutic relationship with my clients, joining them in their ‘dark places’ and working together to climb our way out.

My communication style

I’ve been told that I provide a calm and balancing energy in sessions, and I'm also transparent and compassionate in my delivery. So when we need to go slow, and you need someone to hear your side of things, I’m there. And if you need a firm boundary and a gentle push for growth and accountability, I can provide that as well.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started out volunteering in high school, working with individuals with autism, and that propelled me into the world of social services. I’m very grateful to have a career that grants me the ability to share in the life experiences of others, help them find their best version, and create new cycles so they can share that wealth of goodness.

My goals for you

I guide you through exploration and visualization to set realistic goals and develop action plans that help you acknowledge your strengths and advocate for your needs. This is your life, and meaningful change takes time. Let's be honest and take one step at a time.

Our first session

I value growing a positive, trusting therapeutic relationship. I am authentic in who I am, and that's what I hope to share with you. We'll go slow and together, we'll call things out as we see them.
