Andrea Tompkins

My communication style

I'm an honest, direct, down to earth, and thoughtful communicator. As we get comfortable, we'll prioritize establishing our flow and what style works best for our dynamic. I pride myself on being my authentic self, so there is always space for joy, laughter, and depth. Open communication and feedback are 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, especially in service of Black and Brown people. Creating a space where people’s deepest truths, lived pain, and healing are honored, and where de-stigmatizing mental health and dismantling oppressive systems is part of the 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 specified identified goals. We will continuously adapt our goals to stay current, aligned, and relevant to you.

Our first session

Spending time getting to know each other, exploring what brings you to therapy, and seeing if we're a good fit for this journey together. Therapy is a process and can be emotional, so we'll go at your pace. It's a very personal and vulnerable experience, and It's an honor to do this work alongside you.
