Andrew Davenport, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Andrew!

I specialize in helping people navigate life's challenges through deep human connection. I want to understand everything about you and what makes you tick so we can better your life step by step. If you're seeking someone who will truly hear your story and help you identify the moments that shaped who you are and why they matter, please reach out.

My focus

My ideal client is willing to be vulnerable and share their life story without shying away from emotional or challenging subjects. Someone open to feedback that challenges their viewpoint to reduce stress. Someone who shows introspection, thinking about our conversations afterward and bringing questions to continue the work.

My approach

I blend cognitive behavioral principles with motivational interviewing, person-centered practice, and movement or art when helpful. You'll lead our conversations, with gentle nudges from me to continue the work. I'll laugh with you, challenge you, and be there as we walk together through your healing journey toward a more peaceful life.

My communication style

My style is relaxed, open, and kind. We'll laugh, cry, and sometimes get angry, and I'll guide you through these emotions with grace. I'll ask furthering questions to gather information or use active listening and silence to help the work unfold. I'll never force you into a subject, but I will challenge you in a way that feels right for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to help people. After exploring different paths, I found my calling in social work, where I could combine my love for communication, hearing people's stories, and making a real impact. I have a personal passion for self-improvement and the research behind it. Now I help individuals who feel the desire to better their lives.

My goals for you

We'll set goals together, whether explicitly or inherently through our conversations. Goals can shift weekly as life changes, and we'll keep them flexible. We'll break larger goals into small pieces so you can feel each achievement. We'll check in consistently to ensure we're on track and working toward what you hope to achieve.

Our first session

Our first session is an information-gathering conversation. We'll discuss your current needs and whether my skill set is a good fit. We'll also gauge if our communication styles work well together to create a safe, open, and hopefully fun environment for your healing journey.
