Introducing Andrew Lincicome MA, LMHCA, SUDP ...

I began my clinical career working in the addiction field in 2008. I furthered my education at Bastyr University and graduated with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology in 2021. I am dually licensed in substance use and mental health treatment as a SUDP and LMHCA. While accruing hours towards full licensure, I am currently supervised by Rodney Jong, LMFT. I also regularly engage in continuing education and case consultion.

I am most passionate about working with adoptees, and all members of their extended families. I also enjoy working with individuals struggling with substance use disorders. In addition to working with adults, I appreciated my time interning at a local adolescent inpatient facility for internet and gaming addiction. I am open to continuing working with our adolescent population, as well as couples and families.

My approach to the counseling relationship draws from a number of empirically supported approaches. Most importantly, the relationship is what ultimately determines positive outcomes. Listening, attunement, and curiosity combined with constructive, compassionate and supportive feedback. I would describe my approach as eclectic, individualized, attuned, and holistically focused.

I am working on furthering my research into the specific and tangible benefits of ecotherapy. Engaging with nature has been a source of positive inspiration and healing in my personal experience. Finding, understanding more deeply, and strengthening this connection improves many facets of our health, which then ripples into our surroundings.

In the future, I will be available to provide therapeutic excursions, which includes the prospect of hiking and foraging for local seasonal edible wild plants and mushrooms, while engaging in the therapeutic process.

Thank you firefighters for the continued hard work you are doing to protect our beautiful communities. Trying to keep making space for the complexity of this experience.
