Hi! I am Andrea, the CEO of The Magpie Therapist. I have been working in the mental health field for 15+ years. I was inspired to start this project, after finding that most people, in most contexts, consistently ignore basic fundamentals of human biology and overlook our connection to the natural world. This is the underlying cause of a great deal of suffering.

The Magpie Therapist is a place to find interdisciplinary insights, skills, and exercises to reconnect to these basics and support whole person wellbeing. Each course and training is created by integrating evidence-based theory, research, and practice across brain and body focused disciplines.

By applying lessons and habits from biology, social work, chemistry, sociology, physical and occupational therapy, psychology, and history, individuals, groups, agencies, and organizations can build connectional processes and improve both short- and long-term outcomes.
