About Me
About Me
A grounded, collaborative approach shaped by empathy and real‑world understanding.
Meet Your Therapist
I’m Andria Boyd‑Diggs, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to creating warm, affirming spaces for youth, families, and women. My work is deeply informed by the cultural and generational experiences that shape Black communities, and I strive to offer care that honors the lived realities of the people I serve. My approach is rooted in relational healing, emotional safety, and developmentally informed support.
Before launching my private practice, I gained extensive experience across multiple systems of care, including juvenile justice, child welfare, and school‑based mental health.
💜In DJJ settings, I supported teens navigating aggression, defiance, truancy, and other risky behaviors, helping them and their caregivers build structure, insight, and connection.
💜 In child welfare, I worked with youth experiencing trauma, adjustment challenges, and foster care or adoption‑related transitions, providing stability and emotional safety during periods of significant change.
💜 In school‑based therapy, I supported students facing anxiety, identity exploration, school stress, family conflict, and low self‑esteem, collaborating closely with caregivers and educators.
These experiences strengthened my belief in the healing power of connection and the resilience that emerges when people feel seen, supported, and understood. They also shaped my strengths in adolescent and family therapy, particularly in helping youth and caregivers navigate complex emotional and relational challenges. I also support adult women—particularly those seeking culturally attuned care—as they navigate anxiety, life transitions, relational stress, and self‑esteem concerns, offering a space where identity and lived experience are fully honored.
Who I Support
I support teens, families, and women navigating emotional and relational challenges such as anxiety, identity exploration, school stress, family conflict, and low self‑esteem. While my expertise is in supporting Black teens and women, I welcome clients across all ages and identities. My goal is to offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their experiences, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
My Approach
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I don’t believe in a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. I tailor my therapeutic style to your unique needs, personality, and lived experience, drawing from methods that support emotional clarity, relational healing, and long‑term growth.
My therapeutic style is warm and collaborative, grounded in evidence‑based practices including:
💜Bowen Family Systems Therapy
💜Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
💜Structural Family Therapy
I honor all identities and welcome faith or spirituality into the therapeutic space when desired.
I believe that when people feel understood and supported, they gain the clarity and confidence needed to create the relationships and lives they want. I’m honored to walk alongside clients as they grow, heal, and reconnect with themselves and the people they love.
