I'm a compassionate and experienced psychotherapist with more than 20 years of experience in social services and a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.

My journey into helping others began long before her professional career. From an early age, I discovered the importance of creating spaces where people felt comfortable speaking openly, being themselves, and knowing they mattered. That early passion for service ultimately became a lifelong calling to support the emotional and mental well-being of others.

As a therapist, I bring together clinical knowledge, life experience, and a calm, compassionate presence. She understands that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel respected, understood, and free from judgment. I believe that asking for help is not a sign of weakness—it is an act of courage. I meet clients where they are, without judgment, while gently encouraging growth and meaningful change.

My goal is to help you move beyond simply getting through the day and toward building a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and authentically yours.

Hello, I’m Dr. Andrew Buchanan, a licensed clinical psychologist in Nevada. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University in 2021 and became licensed to practice independently in Nevada in 2025.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adults facing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and other serious mental illnesses. I also specialize in cognitive rehabilitation and remediation for individuals experiencing cognitive changes related to brain injury, developmental disorders, or psychotic disorders.

My professional experience includes providing psychological services in nonprofit mental health agencies, county behavioral health programs, and state-operated forensic facilities. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer psychological and neurocognitive evaluations when appropriate.

I also enjoy working with caregivers who are experiencing stress or burnout related to their caregiving duties. Supporting those who dedicate themselves to caring for others is an important part of my practice.
