Holistic and integrative psychotherapy with a special focus on anxieties related to dating, ADHD, psychedelic wellness, relationships, and LGBTQ+ health.
Andrew Amick is an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist (CA BBS #121201), providing psychotherapy under licensed supervision of Erica Siegal LCSW (86622) and Gary Pearle, PhD LMFT (30426).
Holistic psychotherapy encompasses a variety of techniques and modalities in an effort to care for the whole person - mind, body, & spirit - by integrating multiple approaches, including:
- Psychodynamic (exploring how our past affects our present)
- Gestalt (exploring how we experience this present moment)
- Psychoanalytic (creating insight and connection between the less obvious dynamics of our personalities)
- Humanistic or client-centered (focusing on what you want, when you want it, how you want it, now)
Techniques can include elements of:
- Gestalt techniques
- Mindfulness & Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
I provide the planning and integration support counseling that is often so vital for a successful and therapeutic psychedelic experience. I DO NOT PRESCRIBE THESE MEDICINES.
Should you desire to work with approved psychedelic medicines, I will happily connect you to trusted experts.
Sessions are held online, so you're required to reside in California and encouraged to have your own private space to hold online sessions.
FREQUENCY: Ideally, therapy should occur at a pace that is both therapeutic and affordable. That being said, most clients with pressing issues will attend therapy on a WEEKLY basis. Many clients will eventually switch to an ALTERNATING WEEKLY basis, when appropriate.
DURATION: Sessions are 50 minutes long, unless otherwise agreed upon.
For individuals, a 50-minute session costs $100.
For couples, a 50-minute session costs $160.
ALL COSTS ARE OUT-OF-POCKET. This will grant us the freedom to work flexibly and fluidly, according to your needs and timeline, without the restrictions and micromanagement imposed by medical insurers, who often set limits on session duration, timelines, frequency, and interventions. This ALSO allows me to adjust fees for those in financial need (called a "sliding scale").
