Andrew Philip, PhD

Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Upper Saddle River NJ
I help people learn to cope and thrive in the presence of experiences like stress, conditions like pain and insomnia, sadness, and feelings of hopelessness. I have worked with people from just about every walk of life- women, men, LGBTQ+ folks, grandparents, doctors, students, active duty service members and veterans, executives and HNWIs, and people who just generally consider themselves 'wanderers'. I also help people going through understandably difficult experiences: life transitions (starting college, a new job, or a new situation), grief and loss of loved ones, and some of the more philosophical parts of life like finding meaning and value in existence or things that seem like they should feel 'good', but just don't. I am a good fit if you are looking for an easy conversation style free of judgement, that is change-oriented, meaningful and clear. Because I have limited availability and am a solo practitioner, I am NOT a great fit if you are struggling with severe mental illnesses like unmanaged bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, psychiatric hospitalization, severe substance use disorders, anticipate needing legal references or documentation, or if you feel you may need in-person visits. Most importantly, I go into our work together as a partner and a facilitator, and I already know you are fundamentally good. Both of our jobs will be to align this internal value and worth with the rest of your life and environment. I
*Accepting new clients in NJ and FL for Telehealth* I’m Dr. Andrew Philip, a licensed psychologist and a clinical health psychologist by training. I have dedicated my career to improving the human condition- through direct clinical care, training and teaching healthcare professionals, writing, advocacy, and for the past 10 years, leading large-scale healthcare transformation efforts to improve healthcare for all. I maintain a small private practice as I truly love working with clients and practicing the art of psychotherapy. I typically work with just a few clients at any given (typically early evenings and Sunday mornings), and when I do have a new opening, I try to ensure the absolute best fit with potential clients so our time together is meaningful.
All sessions are remote, and I offer in-home sessions on a case-by-case basis in the Upper Saddle River area of NJ. I offer traditional psychotherapy (50-minute sessions) at a rate of $195 per 50-minute hour and am also in-network with several major insurance plans. If you plan to utilize insurance, please visit my profile on Headway at: https://headway.co/providers/andrew-philip?utm_source=pem&utm_medium=direct_link&utm_campaign=60035. I also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), which is customizable but typically includes 6-8 weekly or biweekly cycles of 2-3 hour dosing sessions and 50-minute integration sessions, and a 50-minute preparation session. I work with prescribers at Journey Clinical for patients to access medicine and I coordinate care with your prescriber. I offer a sliding scale for dosing sessions ($120 per hour), while preparation and integrations sessions are $195 per hour. Dosing sessions are not typically covered by insurance.
