    Andy Meyer

    I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist with over 40 years experience in Psychology. I worked with adjudicated youth, directed a mental health clinic for homeless people, and devoted the last 22 years of my active clinical practice to work in a Community Crisis Clinic. Though formally retired from clinical work, I have kept my license active. For now, my psychology work consists of occasional guest lectures at local colleges.I am presently pursuing my life-long passion for writing. I like my fiction to be character driven - but with a plot. I am an active member of the Kansas Writers Association and have published short stories in KWA anthologies in 2016, 2017, 2018.
