About Me

My name is Andrew Carnahan, and I am a therapist serving the North Seattle area. I have a Master's degree in psychology from Seattle University with a focus on existential and humanistic psychotherapy. In addition, I have extensive training in Jungian depth oriented approaches to psychotherapy. My research on a combined existential and Jungian approach to psychotherapy has been featured in Depth Insights, an open access peer reviewed publication. I help teens and adults struggling with mental health or substance use problems and my clinical practice includes working with people from all walks of life. 

I utilize a unique combination of therapeutic approaches to meet the needs of each person I help. This can include evidenced based cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness meditation techniques, and motivational interviewing. In addition, I may use techniques of dream interpretation, existential explorations of life's sufferings and meanings, and other depth oriented techniques to increase our understanding of the problem and further your healing. My belief is that the best therapy works to solve today's problems, while also helping you grow toward a life filled with meaning and authenticity.
