Andrea Tompkins

My communication style

I am an honest, direct, and thoughtful communicator. As we work to get comfortable we will prioritize establishing our own flow and exploring what styles work best for our dynamic. I pride myself on being my authentic self so there is always space for joy and laughter. Open communication and feedback are important and always encouraged.

My journey to mental healthcare

With 12 years of various experience, I became a therapist to center ancestral wisdom, cultural identity, and community in my practice. Intentionally creating a space where people's deepest truths and realities, lived pain, and healing are honored. While de-stigmatizing mental health and dismantling oppressive systems is a part of the healing work.

My goals for you

Therapy is a relationship, and its core is partnership and collaboration. Our goals will be guided by you, whether that's re-establishing or strengthening your relationships with self, the land, or others, confronting patterns, or more specifically identified goals. We will continue to adapt our goals to stay current and supportive of you.

Our first session

We'll spend some time getting to know each other, exploring what brings you to seek therapy, and see if it feels like we might be a good fit to work together. Therapy is a process, and it can be emotional, so we’ll go at a pace that makes sense for you. Therapy is very personal and vulnerable, and I don’t take getting to work together lightly.
