Andrew Newhouse, LMFT

Andrew Newhouse is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings a personal and professional depth to his work. He began his journey into the helping professions after the loss of his mother at 17, an experience that led him to seek support and ultimately inspired him to pursue a career in therapy. That early encounter with a compassionate therapist shaped his commitment to offering empathetic, practical help to others navigating loss, life changes, and difficult emotions.

For the last 13 years he has worked with people from diverse backgrounds, supporting those facing substance use challenges, anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and relationship and family concerns. He draws on a broad clinical background built over two decades of study and practice, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Structural Family Therapy, to tailor treatment to each person's situation. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - he focuses on the ways relationships, family dynamics, and individual histories interact to affect present difficulties.

Andrew emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's unique strengths and goals. He encourages people who are struggling to reach out for help and offers a welcoming, nonjudgmental space to explore issues such as addiction, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. If chosen as a therapist, he aims to listen carefully and work alongside clients to pursue meaningful, positive change.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client is the expert on their experience. The therapist listens carefully and offers empathy and acceptance, which can help with issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and compulsive or impulsive behaviors by helping clients develop more effective coping strategies.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact. It combines careful pacing with techniques to manage intense emotions and improve functioning in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrew will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He works together with clients to adjust the plan as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from different locations within the therapist's service area, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances shift.
