Andrew McNab, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Andrew!

Congratulations on taking the first step! With over eight years of experience in Los Angeles nonprofit and government settings, I bring a grounded, compassionate approach and a tuned ear. Whether seeking support for yourself, helping a partner or family member, or wanting to better support others, therapy can offer meaningful guidance and clarity.

My focus

I believe the client-therapist relationship is built on synergy.

My approach

My approach is primarily client‑centered. This is your space to share and explore your thoughts, goals, fears, and anything else that feels important in your life. I strive to be responsive and flexible, meeting you where you are and focusing on the challenges that feel most urgent right now.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, transparent, and curiosity‑driven, creating a supportive space that encourages reflection, independence, and honest connection.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’m very grateful to be in the position I am today—thanks in large part to supportive family, friends, pets, and countless pickup soccer games around Los Angeles. Each of these has helped carry me through some of the most challenging moments of my journey.

My goals for you

I use gentle, explorative language to encourage independent thinking and self‑discovery. Over the years, I’ve learned that curiosity and genuine mental effort can lead to a deep sense of satisfaction when you arrive at your own insights and solutions.

Our first session

I’ve never been in a session with myself,so ultimately you get to decide whether this space feels right for you.Our first session will focus more on the foundations of therapy- things like understanding your needs,discussing limitations, gathering information, and beginning to shape a treatment plan.As we continue, the process becomes more natural.
