Andrew Kushnick Psychotherapy — Counselor in City and County of San Francisco, CA

I've come to know Andrew as a specialist in working with high achievers who get stuck in their thoughts and could benefit from getting in touch with themselves. His approach includes blending parts work with effective problem-solving and communication skills training amongst other modalities. I feel confident referring people to Andrew and I highly recommend him for anyone wanting to dig in and make real progress!

I honestly can't recommend Andrew enough. I worked with him weekly for over four years, and the impact on my life has been profound. He helped me navigate everything from complex personal challenges and relationship patterns to huge life transitions like getting married and becoming a parent. We used a mix of approaches that gave me practical, everyday tools to help me stay focused, manage overwhelm, and build a life I feel confident in. Andrew is incredibly insightful, kind, and just genuinely easy to talk to. He has a real gift for helping you cut through the mental clutter and find clarity. I recently paused therapy, but I’m walking away feeling grounded thanks to our work. I'm so grateful for his support - it truly made a lasting, positive difference.

Working with Andrew has been one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences of my life. From our very first session, I felt heard, respected, and genuinely understood. Andrew strikes a perfect balance between empathy and insight. He creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where I feel comfortable exploring even the most difficult aspects of my life. His questions are always thoughtful and grounded in deep clinical knowledge, yet delivered with warmth and compassion. Over time, I’ve gained clarity, self-awareness, and practical tools to manage stress, relationships, and emotional challenges. Sessions are not just about talking; they are about growing. I leave each session feeling both lighter and stronger, with a clearer sense of who I am and where I want to go. Andrew is highly skilled and also deeply human. I highly recommend him for treating professionals like myself.

I've been a fan of Andrew's clinical work for years. He brings a blend of authenticity, practicality and grounded presence to his practice. His integration of EMDR therapy through an attachment-focused lens is both nuanced and deeply effective. If you're a tech professional — a population he works with often — or someone navigating the overlap between personal wounds and professional pressure, Andrew offers a space that is both insightful and healing. I wholeheartedly recommend working with him.

Thank you Andrew, for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life. Your guidance has helped me feel more integrated and whole, allowing me to navigate life with greater clarity and compassion. I now move through moments with presence—observing, responding, and soothing myself with intention—rather than reacting from fear or fragmentation. This growth is a testament to your skill, patience, and the safe space you’ve created for healing. I’m deeply grateful!

I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough. He is incredibly kind, caring, and thoughtful, and it’s clear that he truly loves his work. His deep commitment to his clients comes through in every session, making therapy both highly effective and genuinely enjoyable. I’ve worked with several therapists in the past, and Andrew stands far above the rest. He takes the time to set clear goals with you and thoughtfully works toward them, ensuring that each session is meaningful and productive. One of the things that sets Andrew apart is his expertise in EMDR, which can be difficult to find—especially with a therapist as skilled as he is. I’ve done EMDR with him, and it has been extremely helpful in processing difficult experiences. Beyond EMDR, he is well-versed in various therapeutic approaches, tailoring each session to what is most effective. He continually invests in his development, attending trainings and staying open to new methods, which makes him an exceptional therapist. Since working with Andrew, I’ve seen tangible, positive changes in my life. I’m much more aware of my emotions and able to respond to life’s challenges with greater intention. My relationships have improved, my emotional well-being has strengthened, and I’ve even become more effective at work. Investing in therapy with Andrew has been absolutely worth it, and I’m deeply grateful to have found him. If you’re considering working with him, consider yourself lucky—he is truly one of the best.

I worked with Andrew throughout 2023-2024. Andrew is an exceptional therapist who provides insightful guidance with compassion and empathy. His approach is both professional and warm, creating a space for exploration and personal growth. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone seeking therapy.

Andrew was my first therapist, and I feel so lucky to have have such a positive first experience. He is extremely patient and one of the most compassionate people I have every met which helped make it fun to show up and put the work in. I would recommend Andrew to anyone!

Andrew was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering psychotherapy. I didn't waste a second of time with him over the course of a year. Psychotherapy is of those pursuits where you get out what you put in. If you're eager and willing to do the work Andrew will meet that effort. You'll learn a tremendous amount about yourself and others and get on the path towards a happier life. I am tremendously thankful I was able to work with him.
