Zaira Boylan, LMHC, RDT

Clinician Bio

Expressive Arts Therapist and Mental Health Counselor

Zaira Boylan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at BEATS. She believes that the core of therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. She endeavors to foster trust and make a safe enough space to challenge assumptions about one's self and the world.  Zaira specializes in identity exploration and trauma work, primarily with queer adolescents and young adults, but has experience working with individuals across the lifespan and strives to help her clients feel more at home in their own skin.

Zaira practices a play based form of drama therapy called developmental transformations (DvT), role and parts work (IFS), cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. Her work is playful, irreverent, and focuses on embodiment, relationship dynamics, and figuring out what it means to be "good enough."
