I often help those working through partner betrayal, relational trauma, or severe mood and anxiety symptoms. Clients benefit from my psychodynamic approach which has been shown to be especially helpful for managing complex trauma and improving negative relationship patterns. I have extensive training diagnosing personality disorders, in addition to helping persons with severe depression, panic attacks, nonsuicidal self-injury, and OCD. Clients tell me they appreciate my calm, regulating presence as well as my nonjudgemental stance.

Dr. Andrew Buchanan

Dr. Andrew Buchanan

Psychologist

Virtual • Nevada


Hello, I’m Dr. Andrew Buchanan, a licensed clinical psychologist in Nevada. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University in 2021 and became licensed to practice independently in Nevada in 2025.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adults facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and other serious mental illnesses. I also specialize in cognitive rehabilitation and remediation for individuals experiencing cognitive changes related to brain injury, developmental disorders, or psychotic disorders.

My professional experience includes providing psychological services in nonprofit mental health agencies, county behavioral health programs, and state-operated forensic facilities. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer psychological and neurocognitive evaluations when appropriate.

I also enjoy working with caregivers who are experiencing stress or burnout related to their caregiving duties. Supporting those who dedicate themselves to caring for others is an important part of my practice.

Therapist

I’m a fully licensed CPC clinician who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and addiction. Growing up in Europe sparked my curiosity about people and my passion for helping others move toward healing and personal growth.

I take a compassionate, collaborative approach and tailor therapy to each person’s unique experiences. Using evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing, I help clients build practical tools to manage emotions, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change.

Therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
