Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm andrew (Drew) Sutherland. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist focusing on helping people feel better day to day, month to month, or year to year. Do you feel like you should be enjoying life more? Do thoughts of the past or images from a future keep you from moving forward with the things you want to do? Do you feel as if you are a passenger in your life rather than the one driving action, growth, change, and happiness? I understand. I felt the same way before I began my mental health journey. I use a client centered approach and tailor my work to what you need. You are in the driver's seat. Together, we will collaboratively work to help you become what you have only imagined.

My approach to therapy

I use EMDR to help people process traumatic memories/experiences. If you have an uncomfortable or disturbing memory that shows up unbidden in your day to day life, we should chat and see if we are a good fit together. I'm looking for clients who want to make some changes and I will support you along the way. I like to have conversations with the people for whom I am working. Gaining a sense of safety and comfortability is a huge priority when working with clients. I will bever bully you or force you to make changes that you are not ready to take on. As I said previously, we are a team. I'm on your side.

What you can expect from me

Our first session together will probably feel like 2 people chatting. I like to get to know my clients and foster a safe holding environment for issues that may come up during the course of therapy. Don't be surprised if we have a little fun or a few laughs in our first session.
