Andrew Murray

Psychiatry and Psychotherapy

About Dr. Andrew Murray

I am a board-certified psychiatrist practicing in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and a psychoanalyst-in-training. I offer psychoanalytic therapy and psychiatric consultation in person and via telehealth, with a particular interest in patients seeking deeper understanding of themselves and their recurring patterns.

I am currently a candidate at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute. My interest in psychoanalysis began during residency at Tufts Medical Center, where I sought additional training at the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.

Over ten years of psychiatric practice informs my work. After residency, I served as Psychiatrist-in-Charge at McLean SouthEast Hospital before joining Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire, where I integrated psychodynamic perspectives in treating complex patients. I supervised psychiatry residents in psychotherapy and practice management, and was named Educator of the Year by the Mayo Clinic General Pyschiatry Residency Chiefs in 2024. I have held teaching faculty positions at Harvard Medical School, Mayo Clinic, and Medical College of Wisconsin.

My background as a psychiatrist allows me to offer integrated care when patients benefit from both psychoanalytic therapy and medication consultation, without splitting treatment between providers.

In my free time, I enjoys outdoor activities with my family, including bike riding, kayaking, hiking, and skiing. I also enjoys exploring new restaurants, watching baseball and reading.

A thoughtful approach to mental Health

Together we will determine the best approach for your treatment on an ongoing basis, whether this involves psychotherapy, medications, or both.

 

Psychoanalytic work is an investment in understanding yourself more deeply. It typically involves meeting multiple times per week - a frequency that allows patterns to emerge and be explored in real time, not just discussed in retrospect.

 

All services are private pay. Working independently of insurance allows for greater privacy, confidentiality, and flexibility in how we structure our work together. For patients who benefit from both psychoanalytic therapy and psychiatric consultation, I can provide integrated care without the complications of splitting treatment between providers.
