Andrew Joseph, EdM, MA, LMHC

Andrew is a Certified AEDP Therapist in private practice in New York City. He has been actively involved in AEDP research since 2018 and was invited to continue in an expanded role in 2021, contributing to studies examining treatment effectiveness, long-term outcomes, and affect-based experiences of flourishing and transformational change.

Andrew completed his MA and EdM in Psychological and Mental Health Counseling at Teachers College, Columbia University, where he was invited during his graduate training to join the AEDP research team. His clinical formation included Core Training with Dale Trimble and advanced supervision with Diana Fosha. He has collaborated closely with Fosha and colleagues on multiple peer-reviewed publications in Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology Quarterly, including AEDP’s first outcome study, clinical recommendations for supporting patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of the Moments of Flourishing Experience Scale (MFES), and research exploring positive personal transformation during the pandemic.

Andrew’s clinical work is grounded in the belief that healing is an innate human capacity that emerges in the presence of safety and responsiveness. He helps patients move from stuckness into direct emotional experience, supporting the full processing of feelings so that greater vitality, clarity, and connection can unfold—within oneself and in relationship to others.

Andrew presents at AEDP Immersion and at national and international conferences. He works with individuals, couples, and groups and is licensed in New York, Florida, and British Columbia.
