psychodynamic therapy Toronto

Registered Social Worker

I am a registered social worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, holding a Masters degree in social work, a Masters degree in philosophy, and Bachelors degree in psychology and philosophy. My philosophical concentration has been on existentialism and phenomenology, philosophies that take human experience as their point of departure. My psychotherapeutic concentration has been on psychoanalysis.I have experience in community mental health agencies, psychiatric units, crisis intervention, child protection services, and working with at-risk populations in general. I have studied various therapeutic perspectives, beyond psychoanalytic and psychodynamic models, such as CBT, DBT, intergenerational trauma, and family dynamics approaches.

Psychodynamic Therapy Toronto

Sessions with Andres

The goal of our work together would be to help you make sense of your experience in a deeper way, to understand the patterns that keep you cycling through the same struggles. In our sessions, we would pay careful attention to the words you use and the feelings that arise between us, creating a space where you can be heard anew. My approach, informed by both clinical experience and a background in philosophy, centers on a profound interest in how you make meaning of your life. Together, we would explore your unique story so you can relate to yourself and others more authentically and open up possibilities for change.
