Founder & Therapist
Brianna Boyd LCPC, M.Ed. (She/her/hers)
I founded Resilient Creatures Counseling PLLC in 2022 with the hope of creating a therapeutic environment which encouraged folks from all walks of life to honor their resilience.
I use an integrative, trauma-informed therapeutic approach that draws primarily from client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and EMDR therapeutic modalities. By centering trust in the therapeutic alliance, I hope to empower clients to develop an improved sense of security and more authentic, gratifying relationships in their lives.
Using a multicultural and intersectional framework, I support clients in recognizing the social and cultural contexts that influence their lived experiences. As a queer-identifying clinician, I understand the value of fostering an inclusive and affirmative space in order to help clients feel safe to openly explore their identities and learn to embrace their most authentic selves.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who graduated from Loyola University of Chicago and began my career by providing counseling services to students receiving Medicaid in Chicago schools. Due to under-resourcing, I was only able to reach a limited number or students and thus my work centered on trauma processing, crisis intervention, and complex identity exploration. I have been deeply humbled by this experience and would be honored to apply what I have learned learned to support you in this moment of growth and healing.
Resilient Creatures Clients
I love working with gender diverse adolescents, queer and questioning folks, and young adults navigating life transitions.
Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities and disconnected from their communities.
Despite the adversity they face, my clients strive to develop improved personal insight and coping skills that will allow them to feel more calm, capable, and connected.
Client Testimonials
“She gives me the room to work through my issues at my pace while still challenging me when I need it. She provides alternate perspectives to my own, and she understands which tools do and don't work for me. She is incredibly adaptive, compassionate, and respectful… it is with Bri's support that I grew into myself, and continue to find ways to grow.”
“I've gained a better understanding of myself, my goals, and my close relationships.”
“The perfect amount of self-disclosure that makes me feel super comfortable has been awesome, and otherwise knowing I can vent about thirty unrelated things and Bri keeps me grounded while providing the space to talk through it all!”
My office is conveniently located in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago
