Andrew Levander

Therapist

Virtual • California


Meaningful change often begins when the silence of suffering becomes too heavy to carry alone. I am Andrew Levander, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 30 years of experience helping adults, adolescents, and families navigate the complexities of addiction, trauma, and the relational patterns that keep people stuck. My work has been recognized for innovation and excellence, earning the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Service Innovations Festival Award. While my insights have been featured nationally on platforms like The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Dr. Phil Show, and Time Magazine, my focus remains on the individual person sitting across from me. I consider it a profound privilege to help my clients pause, seek understanding, and find a path toward peace.

I believe that true healing requires a clinician who is as human as they are professional. My clients often describe my demeanor as candid and high in integrity, and I strive to ensure you feel both challenged and deeply respected during our time together. I want you to feel empowered by our partnership, knowing you have a seasoned advocate who balances professional expertise with a genuine, dynamic style. When I am not in the office, I find my own sense of peace and focus through the practice of magic and the patience of fishing—hobbies that remind me of the importance of perspective and the quiet rewards of persistence.

Sherrell Fairley

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’ve spent my professional life walking alongside people in some of their most vulnerable moments—from infants in early childhood programs to youth in group homes, adults in substance-use recovery, and families involved with CPS. These experiences shaped my belief that everyone has the capacity to heal when they have the opportunity to match with a therapist who can listen, teach, challenge, and support them through it. I am trauma-informed and utilize approaches such as CBT and EMDR to help clients move from survival to restoration and growth. My approach is practical, real, and deeply rooted in lived experience and genuine care for the people I serve.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fremont

Finding the right addiction therapist in Fremont starts with identifying the type of support you need. Addiction counseling can address a range of concerns, from alcohol and drug dependence to behavioral patterns that feel difficult to change. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or psychologist — who has specific experience with substance use disorders. Some providers also hold additional certifications in addiction counseling, which can indicate deeper specialization.

Fremont is home to a diverse community across neighborhoods like Niles, Centerville, and Warm Springs, and many providers in the area offer both in-person and virtual sessions. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach — whether they use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, or another method — so you can decide if their style matches what you're looking for. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right fit before committing to a session.

Addiction counseling in the Bay Area can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an addiction therapist in Fremont who is both clinically qualified and covered by your plan.
