Meet Andrew at Reyes-Cady Wellness
Andrew has a passion for wellbeing and advocating for mental health. With a background in leadership, coaching, and development, he brings a wealth of experience to his practice. Andrew was a member of the San José State University Football Team, a youth football coach, and a youth and adult counselor. As a graduate student, he recently gained experience as an Advanced Level Social Work trainee at the VA-Puget Sound in the Primary Care Clinic. Previously, Andrew worked as an intensive mental health care coordinator for youth and families, as well as providing outpatient counseling services to adults.
With a Master of Social Work from Seattle University, Andrew offers a holistic approach to mental health care. He creates a supportive space grounded in evidence-based practices. By using a trauma-focused and strengths-based lens, Andrew tailors his approach to each client, gaining a deep understanding of how they interact with the systems around them.
Andrew’s Social Work perspective ensures a non-judgmental environment that promotes empowerment, growth, and change at the client’s own pace. In this safe space, clients are recognized as the experts of their own life journeys. Andrew guides them towards personal growth, resilience building, and self-awareness, fostering healthier life habits and an improved quality of life. This experience helps clients get back to doing what they love most.
In addition to his clinical expertise, Andrew brings valuable leadership experience and coaching skills to his practice. Having played college football, he understands the importance of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. These experiences have equipped him with the ability to motivate and inspire clients, helping them to achieve their personal and professional goals.
At Reyes-Cady Wellness, we also have a therapy bunny and aim to integrate animal-assisted interventions into our practice. This unique approach helps create a calming and supportive environment, enhancing the therapeutic experience.
