Andrew Heinz, LCSW, CSW

Andrew Heinz is a Colorado-based licensed social worker with 16 years of clinical experience helping adolescents and adults find relief from painful, repeating patterns. He approaches emotional wounds much like physical injuries - untreated harm can interfere with daily life and lead to behaviors that feel out of step with personal values. Andrew emphasizes that reaching out for guidance is a vital step toward recovery and offers collaborative support aimed at reducing suffering and restoring agency.

He specializes in addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and identity struggles, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, family and parenting challenges, grief, anger, career difficulties, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, control issues, substance use disorders, fatherhood-related concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, men’s issues, midlife transition, mood and panic disorders, and related challenges.

Andrew draws on an eclectic clinical background with training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic-informed methods, Internal Family Systems informed approaches, and polyvagal theory. He practices as an LCSW and CSW - indicating social work licensure and clinical social work credentials - and offers care intended to help people heal, regain stability, and move forward with greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrew Heinz integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and somatic-informed or IFS-informed work into his online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill-building - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Somatic-informed and IFS-informed approaches attend to bodily experience and internal parts or roles, helping people work through trauma responses, attachment wounds, and patterns of impulsivity or shame.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Andrew works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods to what is most likely to help the individual make progress over time with the support of a licensed therapist.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to access consistent care, fit therapy into a busy life, and maintain continuity while working toward personal goals.
