About Andres
Andres is a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers and holds a Master of Social Work, a Master of Arts in Philosophy, and a Diploma in Psychoanalysis, alongside a background in psychology and bioethics. His clinical experience spans diverse and high-acuity settings, including community mental health agencies, child protection services, and hospital environments, where he currently provides crisis intervention and in-patient psychotherapy.
His practice is primarily guided by a psychoanalytic orientation that seeks to understand suffering at a deeper level. This work is informed by a lifelong interest in existentialism and phenomenology–fields that begin with people’s real, lived experiences. Rather than focusing narrowly on symptoms, Andres takes a holistic view of the complexity of human life, seeking to understand individuals as whole people whose experiences are shaped not only by their inner world, but also by their relationships and communities. He pays close attention to interpersonal dynamics and the broader social and cultural contexts in which people live, recognizing how these shared realities influence emotional life and psychological distress.
While grounded in depth psychology, Andres offers a practical, multi-modal approach by integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). This allows him to support clients in exploring questions of meaning and identity while also providing concrete tools for emotional regulation, stability, and day-to-day functioning. Through attentive listening and collaborative self-exploration, Andres works with clients to understand the roots of their distress and to move toward a more integrated, authentic way of living.
Andres offers services in English and Spanish.
