Andrew Negrey, LPC, ADHD-CCSP
Now accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth therapy. Located in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work with individuals who are ready to explore the deeper layers of their emotional lives, understand the ways past experience has shaped their present, and create lasting change. Whether you are navigating the aftermath of emotional trauma, seeking clarity through a life transition or existential crisis, or trying to make sense of complex personal experiences, you are in the right place. My work is guided by a belief that every person represents a unique world, deserving of a tailored approach to their healing journey.
How I Can Help You
I specialize in working with:
-
Depth-Oriented Healing for Emotional and Relational Wounds & Trauma: For those interested in exploring how their family of origin, past relationships, and early experiences have shaped their concepts, narratives and patterns of behavior, emotions, and psychological dynamics—especially where shame, poor self-esteem, perfectionism, people pleasing, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and depression have taken hold, sabotaging opportunities and relationships.
-
Support for Neurodivergence: Neurodevelopmental differences can have complicated social and emotional consequences. Whether you are navigating ADHD, late-diagnosed Autism, Giftedness, some combination, or other unique modes of processing, I offer a therapeutic approach that affirms your particular tools, interests, and styles of thinking and communicating, seeking a form of healthy adaptation to the world that does not entail sacrificing your authentic self.
-
Life Transitions & Identity Crises: Major life changes—whether personal, professional, spiritual or existential—often require us to rethink who we are, the world we inhabit, and what it all means. If you are feeling lost and in need of reinvention or new perspective, I will help you navigate these shifts with insight and empathy.
-
Creative People: Creative work can be thrilling and deeply rewarding, but can also be a source of profound fear, vulnerability, frustration, confusion and doubt. I bring a lifetime of experience in this area to assist you in working through the tangled web of motivations, inspirations and obligations involved in your work.
I believe that therapy should provide a secure and non-judgmental space in which you may begin to view with curiosity and process even the most frightening and toxic "shadow" aspects of your past and inner world. We will examine the explicit and implicit concepts, dynamic patterns and sequences from which your life is woven, and collaborate to clear the way for increased freedom and the growth of new possibilities in the present.
I also see therapy as an exciting venue for creative experimentation, and encourage the use of various verbal and nonverbal modes of expression in therapy, including role playing, art/imagery, writing/journaling, and working with dreams. Therapy helps us feel, think, dream, and communicate with renewed clarity and efficacy, to cope, to adapt creatively, to thrive. Reach out for a consultation, I look forward to speaking with you!

It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.
