Shilyn Andrade, CSW
Shilyn is an Indigenous therapist who believes in creating spaces that honor each person’s story, strengths, and connection to themselves, their community, and their roots—the original medicine. Her work centers complex and historical trauma, PTSD/CPTSD, identity exploration, relationships and attachment, OCD, and anxiety. She strives to create a space where clients can show up fully and authentically, offering a balance of genuine support and empowering guidance. Together with her clients, Shilyn works to face challenges directly, celebrate growth, uncover strengths, and rediscover the medicine within.
Shilyn believes that plant medicine is sacred and works at a psychedelic integration clinic. She provides care grounded in somatic and shadow work, narrative therapy, and advanced EMDR, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Her approach is anti-oppressive and affirming, honoring the lived experiences of LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, body-diverse, polyamorous/ENM, and other marginalized communities.
Shilyn’s personal path has included reclaiming her self-worth after experiences of family estrangement, trauma, exploitation, and burnout. These experiences inform her understanding that therapy should feel like a collaborative partnership, where the client is the expert in their own life. Her role is to help clients reconnect with their wisdom, resilience, and sense of possibility. Together, the therapeutic process moves beyond survival and toward exploring the medicine and healing that already exist within them.
