Bri

Bri Boyd is a Licensed Professional Counselor and sex therapist who believes that conversations about intimacy, desire, and connection don’t have to feel awkward or taboo. She helps women, teens, young adults, and couples navigate challenges around sexual intimacy, libido, desire differences, sexual trauma, and identity exploration.
Bri takes a psychodynamic and attachment-based approach helping clients understand how their early experiences, emotions, and relationships shape the way they connect with themselves and others. From there, she works with clients toward healing shame and deepening emotional and physical intimacy in order to create a more authentic relationship with pleasure and self-worth. Bri also integrates DBT, CBT, and Gottman methods to offer practical tools for communication, emotional regulation, and relationship repair. Her style is warm, honest, and down-to-earth—with a mix of humor and gentle challenge. Growth can be uncomfortable, but Bri believes that’s where the most meaningful change happens.
Bri earned her bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences from Portland State University in 2018 and her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Fox University in 2022. Outside the therapy room, you’ll find her spending time with her husband, hanging out with her cats and dog, reading, enjoying board game nights, or exploring new local restaurants and wineries.

Bri is a student in the Graduate School of Counseling at George Fox University and is working towards a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Bri graduated from Portland State University in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences and will complete the required coursework for a master’s degree in April 2022.

Bri aspires to offer a safe space for individuals to be vulnerable and their authentic selves by practicing empathy, compassion, and support. Bri believes that individuals are able to make transformative steps in their life when they are motivated to change and offered a healthy and supportive environment to open up in.

Bri utilizes a psychodynamic approach to therapy with an emphasis on attachment behaviors and relational-cultural theory, within a trauma-informed lens. This means that Bri believes that attachment behaviors, that are learned at a young age from caregivers, impact how one works through each of the psychosocial stages of development. She believes that people are driven by the need for attachment and relationships in their lives. It is important to Bri to explore individual’s relationships and present conflicts in hopes to find reoccurring patterns that relate to a person’s past. Bri also believes that society and culture play a role in unconscious behaviors and how one views the world around them.

In her spare time, Bri enjoys spending time with friends, hanging out with her four cats and dog, reading murder mysteries, and exploring new local restaurants and wineries.
