Andre Karkamaz, MA LPC
Administrative Director
Andre specializes in attachment psychology and interpersonal effectiveness. He is trained in EMDR through the Maiberger institute in order to better serve clients struggling with trauma and PTSD. Andre has been serving teens, young adults, couples, and families to overcome hardship for the past 5 years.
Understanding struggles with relationships and connection is the focal point of his work, as he helps individuals feel more secure in relationships with others. Andre assists individuals in identifying theirblueprint of attachment, where they might feel a sense of constant anxiety within relationships, or maybe feel a need to withdraw or detach. He highlights growth edges in relational patterns that need attention and helps empower clients to overcome these challenges. Andre has been trained in various therapeutic modalities in order to effectively help clients work through a wide variety of issues. He has been trained in DBT through the Noeticus Counseling Center and Training Institute® and continues to expand his knowledge in the field psychology.
Andre focuses on lingering sense of emptiness; a feeling that something is missing, but not knowing where to start. Being stuck in the past, anxious about the future, and unable to enjoy the present. He relates to knowing how hopeless it can feel. In your work with Andre, he will help you identify self-limiting beliefs and scripts that cause you to feel a sense of emptiness. Sometimes we feel like something is missing in our lives, but don’t know where to start to improve our circumstances. If you are feeling stuck in the past, anxious about the future, and unable to enjoy the present his work with you will be the catalyst for change. Andre understands how difficult it can be to navigate life’s daily challenges while holding a depleting feeling of overwhelm and hopelessness.
Often, our blueprint can include outdated coping mechanisms that worked for us at one point, but now feel destructive. As your therapist, he will walk alongside you in your journey of healing & empower you to repair relationships & establish healthier ones. Through addressing your core fears, you can shatter the illusions that prevent you from feeling at peace and achieving your desired goals.
Let’s work through these maladaptive patterns. Together we will learn to create and maintain a healthier relationship to self and others.
