Make sense of anxious or obsessive thoughts, feeling unmotivated, relationship dissatisfaction, childhood trauma, and open up thoughts and feelings that are hard to talk about. We’ll build a weekly thread to return to, where your story is heard without the need to perform. I offer EMDR and I-CBT, which target trauma and OCD, plus CBT skills for ADHD.

Attentive, listening, and genuine. My clients have often noted feeling better after therapy, sometimes noting their surprise at how much they have to say. Clients describe me as someone who cares. They've also noted how their approaches to relationships have changed, or perspectives towards ADHD or anxious thinking.

We’ll start with whatever is top of mind. I’ll reflect back what I hear, and I may use a few brief questionnaires to get a clearer picture. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling genuinely seen and heard.

Being met with curiosity and without judgment changed my own life, and I wanted to offer that to others. As someone who worked as a violinist and recording artist for many years, I’ve seen how much creative people carry, and how therapy can deepen their relationship to themselves and their craft. I feel grateful to keep listening and learning.

I hold an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and am trained in EMDR for trauma and I-CBT for OCD. I see clients in person in Culver City and Mid-City, and online across California. I offer a free 15-minute consultation, and a sliding scale for artists who need it. Visit andystuder.com to learn more about how I work.
