Meet Dr. Andreas Marwick, Ph.D.
Founder & Clinical Psychologist
Welcome to Fern Therapy Group, my name is Andreas (or Dr. Marwick depending on who you ask). My friends would say I’m fairly relaxed unless plans change at the last minute. I’m originally from New Zealand, way way down-under; meaning that I have an accent, love adventure, and most people think of me as friendly and welcoming (it’s cultural). I can seem extroverted when you first meet me, but socializing is draining and I love to recharge when I’m all by myself.
I do my best work with adults, young and old, who feel like the shine of life has lost its sparkle. Their passion and motivation is waning as they struggle to follow through on the commitments they make to themselves, their work, and those closest to them. Having felt this way myself at times (which is not the same as how you feel), I know the value of a fresh perspective.
If any of this resonates with you, if you want to feel in control, if you want life to not feel so serious, I’m your guy.
Our Story
Fern Therapy Group began with a mission to break the stigma around therapy.
“Since earning my psychology doctorate in New Zealand in 2016, I’ve worked with various populations, including those facing health issues and substance abuse. After moving to San Diego in 2018, I focused on helping adults with relationship issues, life transitions, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to make therapy accessible and enjoyable, offering support in a comfortable and empowering environment.”
