John ‘ Andy ‘ Bradshaw

I work with adults and adolescents on a range of issues including anxiety, substance abuse, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and grief. I take a pragmatic approach to therapy and work collaboratively with clients to help them identify the sources of their distress and how to overcome them. I help clients recognize thought patterns that may not be serving them well and teach them to incorporate more effective ways of thinking in their lives. I use a range of techniques including mindfulness, acceptance, and a focus on values. I am warm and encouraging by nature. Whatever your goals may be-reduced anxiety/stress, greater peace of mind, better personal relationships-I want you to come away from our sessions feeling like you’re getting the support you need as you work to overcome challenges in your life. In addition to psychotherapy, my professional background includes benefits counseling with people with disabilities and advocacy work in the areas of disability rights and education.
