Andy Studer

I work with high-functioning creative people who are experiencing relationship challenges, anxiety, or feel overwhelmed by their thoughts, memories, and feelings. I consider your lived experience from a multicultural and trauma-informed lens, and use evidence-based approaches like EMDR and I-CBT to help you create lasting feelings of safety and self-trust.

Together, we’ll map out how your thoughts, emotions, and relationships shape your daily life. We’ll explore patterns clearly so they start to make sense and feel more manageable, and practice solutions that shift the story. Over time, we'll create clarity, steadiness, and a real sense of hope that change is possible.

Thoughtful, present, and committed. Clients describe me as someone who cares deeply about them and their histories, and know that there is a thread between our sessions together. Clients share that the insights they generate from our sessions together have made lasting impressions on them. Clients enjoy the humor and sense of levity in our sessions, too.

I specialize in working with creatives such as artists, musicians, designers, and actors. I often work with people who have experienced childhood trauma and are looking to process it. I work with clients who are looking for solutions to fear, doubt, and guilt, or people who have tried therapy before and want to try something different.

Listening to others was something I was passionate about from a young age, and I am always learning in this field. I believe this is a deeply personal process that can also be something that taps into your creativity. I love being a therapist and feel grateful about who I get to work with.

I hold an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I am trained in EMDR and I-CBT for PTSD, OCD, and adult ADHD. My work is also informed by my background as a recording artist in Los Angeles, and I understand the complexities of creative pressure. I see clients in Mid-City and Culver City, and offer a free consultation call.
