TRAUMA-INFORMED NARM THERAPY FOR ADULTS, COUPLES, AND FAMILIES
Therapy for the Patterns
Insight Alone
Hasn’t Changed.
A relational approach for adults, couples, and families navigating developmental trauma, attachment wounds, and chronic stress.

You have already done the work. Something still feels unfinished.
Perhaps this feels familiar…
Many of the people I work with have spent years in therapy and gained meaningful insight.
Yet they still find themselves guarded, reactive, or disconnected in ways that do not fully resolve.
— You understand the pattern, yet in certain moments it still takes over.
— Anxiety, self criticism, or perfectionism that keeps returning under stress.
— Conversations with a partner that escalate before either of you means them to.
— A sense of distance from yourself that insight has not closed.
Healing often begins not when we discover something new about ourselves, but when we can finally relate differently to what we’ve known all along.
WAYS I OFFER SUPPORT
Ways we can work together.
My work is grounded in connection, compassion, and curiosity, whether you are coming as an individual, a couple, a clinician, or a team.
Individual Therapy
Many people arrive having spent years trying to understand themselves, yet still feel caught in familiar patterns of anxiety, shame, perfectionism, or disconnection. Our work slows those moments down so something new becomes possible.
_________________________________________________________
For adults navigating developmental trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, shame, or a persistent feeling of being stuck.
Couples & Family Therapy
Most couples do not arrive because something is broken. They arrive because patterns have become stuck. We slow down moments of tension in real time to see what is happening between you, rather than rehearsing communication techniques.
_________________________________________________________
For couples and adult families caught in cycles of conflict, distance, defensiveness, or feeling unseen.
Clinical Supervision
Depth oriented supervision that treats your internal experience as essential clinical data. We explore relational dynamics and countertransference rather than troubleshooting technique. Over time the work becomes less about managing cases.
_________________________________________________________
For clinicians who are skilled and committed, and still meet cases that evoke self doubt, urgency, or withdrawal.
Organizational Consulting
Relational systems work for teams where communication feels strained or tension persists despite structural change. Drawing on NARM, relational systems theory, and interpersonal neurobiology, we look at how the system actually behaves under pressure.
_________________________________________________________
For organizations and teams facing breakdowns in collaboration, leadership dynamics, or decision making.
ABOUT ANDREW
Healing unfolds through
curiosity, presence, and
restoring connection.
I am a licensed psychotherapist in New York and Florida, and a NARM Master Therapist providing NARM therapy for individual adults, couples, and families navigating complex and attachment trauma. I bring deep respect for the courage it takes to engage in healing and for the adaptive strategies people develop to survive.
My work centers on co-creating a relational space that honors your lived experience, supports nervous system regulation, and fosters greater connection, clarity, and authenticity.
In addition to my advanced certifications in NARM, I am trained in Polyvagal Theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology, both of which inform my framework for depth-oriented, trauma-informed therapy.
THE APPROACH
What makes NARM different.
The NeuroAffective Relational Model was developed specifically for developmental trauma, attachment trauma, and the long term effects of chronic relational stress.
You do not need the memories
Developmental trauma is often less about specific events than the cumulative weight of relational experience. We work with what is present now, not with recovering the past.
A different question
The focus is less on what happened to you, and more on how you adapted, and how those adaptations are shaping your life right now.
Agency over pathology
Survival strategies are treated as intelligent, not broken. The goal is not only fewer symptoms but a stronger sense of choice in how you meet your life.
CLIENT EXPERIENCES
Choosing a therapist is deeply personal.
No testimonial can fully capture the experience of therapy. These reflections offer a glimpse of how some clients have experienced the work over time. You do not need to relate to all of them for this work to be a meaningful fit.
“Through our work together and the NARM model, I’ve become much more aware of how emotions show up in my body, less reactive in my relationships, and more compassionate with myself overall.”
AMIE B.
“Not only has my time with Andrew greatly reduced my anxiety and feelings of panic, I feel so much more connected to myself and others in ways that I never thought possible.”
BEN C.
“Andrew leads with humanity. I found that I was able to unpack relational challenges with more depth because I felt safe enough to do so.”
MIA G.
“Andrew’s understanding and support with complex trauma has improved the quality of my life.”
SUSAN B.
“One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed is a greater sense of being my own free agent. I feel now that my journey is valid however it changes or doesn’t change.”
SCOTT S.
“I’ve gone from living with constant anxiety to an increasingly balanced perspective that helps minimize anxiety and grow my self trust.”

PRACTICAL DETAILS
Everything you would want to know
before you reach out.
Therapy is a significant investment of time, energy, and trust. Being clear about the practical side makes it easier to decide whether this is a fit.
$175 per 60-minute session
The same fee applies to individual therapy, couples and family therapy, and clinical supervision. Consultation rates vary depending on the scope, format, and size of the organization.
Out-of-network provider
I provide monthly superbills upon request that may be submitted for possible out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA funds may often be used.
Virtually, by secure video
Therapy, supervision, and consulting are offered by secure video. Psychotherapy is available to people located in states where I am licensed. NARM-informed coaching and consultation is available for people located elsewhere.
Complimentary 30 minutes
A conversation by Zoom to discuss what brings you in, answer questions, and explore whether my approach feels like a good fit.
CONSIDERING NEXT STEPS
Reaching out does not require
certainty.
Only a willingness to begin a conversation. A consultation is space to ask questions and sense whether working together feels supportive. You are welcome to reach out even if you are still unsure what you want support around.
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm EST
