Dean Boland

Dean Boland is a compassionate and insightful queer nonbinary therapist dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for clients. With an understanding that therapy truly is not a one-size-fits-all process, Dean collaborates with clients to cultivate safety, trust, and transparency, enabling them to bring their authentic selves into the therapy setting and their everyday lives. His approach harmonizes acceptance of where clients are currently with motivational encouragement towards their personal goals. Through curiosity, compassion, and a touch of humor, Dean guides individuals to live more fully in the present moment, navigate painful emotions, foster self-compassion, and cultivate genuine relationships—empowering them to not just survive but thrive. Specializing in complex trauma, relationship concerns, shame, self-esteem, and anxiety, Dean employs a feminist relational approach and has a fervent commitment to supporting artists, activists, LGBTQIA+ individuals, polyamorous and non-monogamous couples, as well as disabled and neurodivergent clients. Together, he and his clients explore the effects of power, privilege, and oppression in their lives, co-creating a therapeutic space that honors their unique histories, resilience, values, and beliefs. Dean is eager to support individuals in finding the balance between deep self-acceptance and a commitment to transformative change.
