Andrew Swan  LCSW, LMFT [they/them]

Andrew Swan

Andrew is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Clinical Social
Worker. They earned their Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Minnesota,
Morris, and a Master of Science in Social Work with a specialization in Couples and
Family Therapy from the University of Louisville. They also hold a Master of Arts in
Education from their previous work on college campuses.

Andrew takes a collaborative, strengths-focused, and non-pathologizing approach to
working with clients. In other words, they believe their job is not to show you how to “fix”
yourself, but how to unlock and rediscover the skills and strengths you’ve always had.
Andrew has seen in their previous work with clients that earning trust, having empathy,
and showing unconditional support are the ingredients for a strong therapeutic
relationship and successful therapy.

Andrew has extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. As a
person diagnosed with ADHD later in life, they have also focused on developing effective
and insightful ways of helping ADHD clients harness their unique strengths. Andrew is also
passionate about working with fellow members of the queer community.
They have training and experience working with clients from many backgrounds on a
variety of issues. Andrew primarily focuses on working with adolescent (14+) and adult
individuals and couples on a variety of issues, including but not limited to:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Suicidal Ideation
  • ADHD (in adults as well as adolescents)
  • Trauma
  • Grief and Loss
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Issues related to sexual orientation and/or gender identity

In their training, Andrew has become proficient in a variety of evidence-based techniques
and tailors the therapeutic approach to each client. Common modalities used in therapy
often include Internal Family Systems Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy.
