Meet Andrew Qualy

Clinical expertise grounded in education, experience, and a commitment to growth

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota. My approach is grounded in clinical education, professional mental health experience, and a commitment to evidence-based, trauma-informed care that supports healing, resilience, and meaningful growth.

My practice is informed by extensive clinical training and professional experience across the mental health field. That experience provides a foundation for my work, but it never replaces your story. My approach remains collaborative, practical, and paced around what you want to understand or change.

How I work

Evidence-based does not mean one-size-fits-all

I explain each approach in plain language, connect it to your goals, and adjust it as you progress in your treatment journey.

A grounded next step

You can be capable and still need a place to set the weight down.
