Andrew Wallace is deeply committed to supporting school-aged children (4+), parents, family units, and adults on their journey towards healing and growth. He specializes in Oppositional Defiant Disorder and behavioral difficulties, complex trauma and PTSD including abuse, anxiety, parental empowerment, family dynamics and communication, mood disorders including depression and Bipolar Disorder, identity difficulties, and suicidal ideations. He is highly effective in working directly with parents on helping them better understand their children’s issues and what they are going through.

Andrew firmly believes in the inherent worth and potential of every individual. He values the strengths and uniqueness of all cultures and backgrounds and engages in faith-based interventions at the individual’s discretion. His practice is guided by the following principles: Every person has the capacity for self-directed growth. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most powerful catalysts for change. Play is the natural language of children and a vital tool for healing. Families are interconnected systems with the power to support and nurture each other.
