Hi, I'm Andrea Boyd (she/her), and I work with teens and young adults who are navigating hard experiences and looking for a therapist who truly gets them. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, past trauma, identity exploration, or just feeling like the world wasn't quite built with you in mind, I want you to know: this is a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
Many of the young people I work with hold marginalized identities — queer, trans, neurodiverse, disabled — and are looking for a therapist who doesn't just tolerate those identities but genuinely celebrates them. I'm queer/pan and neurodiverse myself, and I bring an affirming, judgment-free lens to everything I do: trans-affirming, polyamory-affirming, ace/aro-affirming, and rooted in body positivity and health-at-every-size principles. You don't have to explain or justify who you are here — you just get to be.
In our work together, I draw on trauma-informed talk therapy, mindfulness, and specialized trauma protocols like EMDR to help you process difficult experiences at a pace that feels safe. For clients dealing with big feelings that are hard to put into words, I also integrate somatic approaches, IFS (internal family systems), and polyvagal-informed techniques — ways of working with the body, not just the mind, to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more like yourself.
If you're a teen or young adult ready to heal from past pain, understand yourself better, and build a life with more joy, ease, and connection, I'd love to be part of that journey with you.
