Dr. Andrew Lorenzana

Hi, I’m Dr. Andrew Lorenzana.

I am a post-doctoral level clinician and school psychologist with over ten years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families. Throughout my career with Nassau BOCES, I have worked closely with students facing a wide range of social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, providing counseling, advocacy, and support during some of life’s most difficult moments.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process built on trust, understanding, and genuine connection. My goal is to create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, exploring their experiences, and working toward meaningful change without fear of judgment. Together, we can better understand the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be getting in the way and develop practical strategies for growth and healing.

I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults as they navigate the many challenges that come with growing up, developing their identity, managing relationships, and building confidence in themselves. I also work closely with families, helping improve communication, strengthen relationships, and create a greater sense of connection and understanding within the home. I believe that when families work together, lasting change becomes possible.

As a bilingual clinician who is fluent in both Spanish and English, I am passionate about supporting individuals and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. Growing up in a Central American family has given me a deep appreciation for the ways culture, identity, and family experiences shape how we view mental health and seek support. I strive to provide culturally responsive care and am honored to work with members of the Latino community in the language that feels most comfortable to them.

Seeking support can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I look forward to helping you build on your strengths, gain new insights, and move toward the life you want to create.
