Andra Moldav

Andra Moldav

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Andra, and I work with people who feel stuck inside anxiety, depression, trauma, or the weight of complicated relationships. I trained at Antioch University and spent years doing community mental health work, which means I've sat with a wide range of human struggle before ever stepping into private practice. Before therapy, I worked in creative fields, and I bring that into the room: a willingness to look at things sideways, some humor when it fits, and a habit of finding the thing underneath the thing. I'm also an immigrant, and have worked with first-generation and immigrant clients navigating the particular weight of living between cultures: the grief, the loyalty binds, the parts of yourself that don't translate.

Therapist

Virtual • California


Therapy with Lili is a space to slow down and finally exhale. Whether you're feeling consumed by overthinking, emotional overwhelm, or simply tired of carrying so much on your own, you don't need to have it all figured out before showing up. Together, we'll explore not only your thoughts, but also the ways your nervous system, experiences, and relationships have shaped how you move through the world. I approach your story with curiosity, care, and humility, using everyday language and relatable metaphors to help things feel clearer.

My specialties include anxiety, overthinking, grief & loss, guilt & shame, burnout, chronic pain, and relationship conflict.

Dr. Meagan Boersma

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe therapy works best when it’s grounded in understanding who you are as a whole person. Everyone comes to therapy with their own story, background, and way of communicating, and I take time to really get to know each client as an individual. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable being yourself, sharing openly, and feeling genuinely heard and supported as we work through what brought you to therapy.

I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’ve been working as a therapist since 2015 and independently licensed since 2018. I primarily work with adults (18+) and support individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, brief grief experiences, life transitions, and women’s issues.
