Andrew Davie – Writer, Educator, and Brain Injury Advocate
Andrew Davie is a writer, educator, and mental health professional whose work spans storytelling, education, and brain injury advocacy. With a career that has moved between theater, finance, and academia, Andrew brings a multidisciplinary perspective to the ways people learn, heal, and express their stories.
Andrew has taught English and creative writing at the middle school, high school, and college levels. Throughout his teaching career, he has worked closely with students who have learning differences, ADHD, and those learning English as a second language. His international experience includes teaching in the United States, Hong Kong, and Macau through a Fulbright Grant, giving him a global perspective on education and communication.
As a writer, Andrew has published short stories and novellas and has contributed to creative media projects including co-hosting a music review show. His creative work reflects a lifelong interest in storytelling, language, and the human experience.
In 2018, Andrew survived a ruptured brain aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage, a life-altering event that reshaped his professional path and deepened his commitment to helping others navigate recovery and resilience. His personal experience with brain injury inspired him to pursue advanced training in mental health.
Andrew recently graduated with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and practices as a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC). His work focuses on supporting individuals navigating neurological injury, trauma recovery, and life transitions.
In addition to his counseling practice, Andrew consults with researchers at George Mason University on brain injury assessments and contributes to the broader brain injury community. He is an active member of the Virginia Brain Injury Council and the Brain Healing Collective, where he collaborates with advocates, clinicians, and survivors working to improve awareness and care.
Andrew’s life and work are grounded in service. He has volunteered extensively in his communities and spent time caring for his mother during her battle with ALS before her passing—an experience that further shaped his understanding of caregiving, resilience, and compassion.
Through writing, counseling, and advocacy, Andrew continues to explore how stories, education, and connection can help people rebuild their lives after profound change.
