Dr. Andrew Wilkins

Our greatest strength is found in healing our greatest wound.

As a Philadelphia native, Andrew prides himself on being a warm, relational, and down to earth therapist. Exploratory by nature, it is always his goal to help make sense of how our life experiences have shaped who we are today.

Andrew excels at helping high conflict couples and couples with trauma backgrounds. His calm demeanor serves to regulate even the most distressed pair, while using his incisive understanding of human nature to bring insight and healing to the relationship. Additionally, Andrew specializes in helping couples rebuild trust after affairs, honing in on what went wrong and diffusing the extreme hurt and pain that originally seemed impossible to overcome. His warmth and attunement, coupled with his ability to read between the lines quickly brings couples to a new place they hadn’t before thought possible. Not only is trust rebuilt but couples learn to communicate in new ways and intimacy is grown.

And all couples struggle on some level to communicate and at least once in their relationship will feel disconnected and isolated from one another. Andrew is well-versed in helping both couples and individuals see eye-to-eye and move away from previous projections of one another. Couples are able to more fluidly converse after years of not seeming to effectively communicate.

Whether you are struggling to communicate with your partner, finding yourself in explosive arguments, or just found out your partner had an affair, Andrew will deftly walk you through to the other side, not just to survive but to thrive.

I live by the philosophy that

meaning can be found in the darkest of places.

I could spend every day

huddled over a chess board with a close friend.

As a therapist, I

always seek to place myself in the shoes of those I work with.
