Andy Start

Psychotherapist
Addiction/LGBTQAI+/Cults & Coercion
LMSW, LSW

Therapy is a place to feel seen, build resilience, and reconnect with your truth.

All are welcome here. I offer culturally humble, antiracist, queer- and femme-affirming therapy for adults seeking safety, clarity, and change. I welcome LGBTQIA+ people, artists, men exploring emotional fluency, and those navigating anxiety, depression, addiction/harm reduction, identity, or recovery from coercive and high-control influence. Together, we may use relational, attachment, somatic, and arts-based approaches, along with ACT, CBT, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness.

In our sessions, there is room for laughter, tears, uncertainty and discovery. With curiosity and care, we will explore how you arrived here and cultivate what healing, stability and authenticity looks like moving forward.

I am in-network with Aetna, Cigna, and Meritain Health and offer sliding scale fees for private pay clients with financial need.
