Andy faced some significant mental health challenges and received multiple diagnoses before he was even 18.
Navigating those stormy seas early, he connected with therapy and was able to develop an understanding of himself that made it all make sense. That experience became the inspiration for his pursuit of becoming a clinical psychologist — a reality he's now on the precipice of.
Andy’s got a particular interest in advocating for men’s mental health, both through his Instagram page and his clinical work. He’s even created a free online tool called The Mental PitStop, designed to help men check in with how they’re really going.
We talk about men, the intersection of science and faith, and using AI as your therapist.
