Andrea - The Boho Therapist
Andrea Cennington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 30 years of experience working in schools, military communities, healthcare systems, and high-acuity environments across the United States, Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
She is a survivor-informed clinician who understands trauma from both lived and professional perspectives. Her approach integrates neuroscience, epigenetics, somatic regulation, relational repair, and systems analysis.
She loves beautiful spaces, thoughtful design, fashion with intention, and making environments feel grounded and alive. Creativity has been one of her own healing practices. She believes survival is not the final chapter.
She is deeply spiritual without being religious, clinically rigorous without being rigid, and direct without being dismissive. Clients describe her as warm, culturally aware, and honest in ways that create movement.
