I use an integrative approach that draws from attachment, family systems, IFS, narrative, and somatic therapies.

But underneath, it's catching up: you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you're constantly giving more than you're getting. I help individuals and couples untangle the stress of relationships, life transitions, and emotional burnout. Clients describe me as warm, intuitive, and real - someone who helps make sense of the mess without judgment.

I integrate ACT, IFS (IFSI L1), EMDR (EMDRIA), somatic experiencing, and relational models — blending strong clinical training with a deeply human connection.
The way I practice is really grounded in care - real, human care. I’m a clinical psychologist, but more than that, I’m someone who shows up fully. I take this work seriously, and personally. I work with people who are doing well in many ways, or who’ve already done a lot of work and gained insight, but still feel stuck - or burned out - or like something’s off and they can’t quite put their finger on it. Sometimes it’s been building for years, and sometimes something recent just knocks the wind out of you - loss, affairs, medical stress, relationship conflicts, or life suddenly not making sense the way it used to.

We’ll work together to restore balance, safety, and emotional clarity. Together, we help children, teens, individuals, and couples feel more regulated, confident, and connected in daily life.

Men, when you find yourself shutting down or blowing up, it’s often a sign that something deeper needs your attention. The pressure builds, conversations stall, and life starts feeling more like survival than connection. You care about the people in your life and the work you do, but the harder you try to hold it all together, the more distant it can feel. I help men slow down, recognize what’s real, and create change from the inside out. My approach is grounded and direct and you can be fully honest here. My role is to help you explore what’s underneath without judgment.

I’m Andy Saunders, a therapist who shows up as a real person first. I became a therapist because I’ve lived through many of the same struggles my clients face—anxiety, identity confusion, the weight of trauma, addiction, and years of not feeling at home in my own skin. I know what it’s like to question your worth, to hide parts of yourself, and to feel lost in your own story. My own journey through recovery, mental health treatment, and embracing my sexuality shaped the way I sit with people: with honesty, compassion, and absolutely no judgment.

I connect best with other queer and neurodiverse folks who've tried the “fitting in” and are more interested in a sense of belonging. Maybe you're new to mental health care, or maybe you've been around a time or two (or more!)- I enjoy working with individuals who've identified as an "intellectualizer" or "over-thinker," and know that "being self-aware" only goes so far.

Combining 15+ years of social work experience with evidence-based practice models of EMDR and IFS, I often hear clients are relieved that there are techniques we can use that go deeper than traditional talk therapy alone to provide relief from symptoms and see real results.
Some people worry their problems are too small for therapy, that they shouldn’t be feeling this way when their life is okay or their childhood wasn’t that bad. There can be shame surrounding one’s own inability to just feel better already. IFS therapy helps us learn how parts of ourselves can get stuck in the past, and how to heal these parts of ourselves.

You’ve built a life that looks good on paper—but inside, something feels off. You may be successful in your career yet quietly battling anxiety, burnout, or relationship struggles that no one sees. You might love your partner but feel stuck in the same arguments, craving connection and wondering why it feels so hard. Or you may be carrying the weight of past trauma while trying to keep everything else running. You’re insightful and capable and have likely tried to manage this on your own. But you’re tired. You want more than coping—you want clarity, relief, and deeper fulfillment in your life and relationships.

My training includes EMDR (trauma care), Family Systems, Grief/Loss, PSI (Pre/Postpartum Depression/Anxiety/OCD for moms/dads/families), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Training (DBT).
I know how overwhelming it can be when a serious situation, whether your own or a loved one’s, takes over your life. I became a therapist because I’ve lived through some of those seasons myself. They’ve shaped who I am and how I show up—with empathy, presence, and a commitment to walking with clients through what’s hard.
I work with youth (10–18), young adults, and adults navigating stress, grief, identity, and relationships. I support individuals, couples, families, professionals, and LGBTQ+ clients with a creative and compassionate approach tailored to each person’s story.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists
What is Internal Family Systems therapy?
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on sub-personalities, or “families,” within a person, which may be made up of wounded parts and unpleasant emotions like anger and shame. These sub-personalities can come into conflict with each other and with an individual’s core Self, leaving the person feeling detached from positive traits such as the “8 C’s” of confidence, calmness, creativity, clarity, curiosity, courage, compassion, and connectedness. By healing a patient’s wounded parts, a therapist aims to restore balance and bring on positive change.
How does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
An IFS therapist will work with a patient to identify their particular sub-personalities, recognize the emotions powering them, and release them. By doing so, the patient should become more able to address any underlying problems their sub-personalities may have been trying to protect them from. Ultimately, a patient discovers ways to manage internal and external conflicts on their own, through techniques such as relaxation exercises, journaling, and making charts depicting the relationships between their core Self and their distinct parts.
Does Internal Family Systems therapy work?
IFS therapy has been shown to help people address conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic, fears and phobias, trauma, and substance use disorders. Some research has also found that it can help individuals deal with symptoms of physical health conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, such as pain, everyday functioning, depressive feelings, and low self-compassion. There are some conditions for which IFS treatment, specifically discussions of one’s “parts,” may be less appropriate, such as schizophrenia or other states that involve psychosis or paranoia.
How long does Internal Family Systems therapy take?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for IFS therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core concepts of IFS, some patients quickly make progress. While experiences vary, most will find that it is a relatively longer-term therapy, involving months and sometimes years of sessions.
