My name is Drae (Andrea) Roth and I’m a licensed Marriage and Family therapist (LMFT #157634) within California. I’m currently the sole practictioner and owner of Heartfelt Healing Counseling Collective, which I would love to expand in the future! As a Hapa (half Asian and half white) neurodivergent person, I’ve seen the need for care that takes into account a variety of intersectional backgrounds to a deeper level and have wanted to be a part of filling that gap. That’s why got my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from USF’s social justice oriented program, and spent years working with people of a variety of ages (from 3- 70s+) and a multitude of backgrounds (ethnic, LGBTQ+, immigrants, disabled, neurodivergent, ADHD, Autism, APD, HSP, 2e, etc.), many of which are dear to my heart.

Wanting to help in this way, led me to work for San Mateo County’s Pride Center for the last 3 years providing integrative LGBTQ+ affirming care to a variety of diverse adults, teens, and families, and before that, at UCSF’s Infant-Parent program to support families, parents, teachers, in coming together to support pre-school children in better thriving.  Prior to that, I worked with diverse children (ages 3-12) with ADHD and Autism and their parents and teachers for a couple of years, learning behavioral techniques that can be very helpful in aiding motivation and habit formation. I’ve also developed and run both therapeutic and psychoeducational groups, some of which were for LGBTQ+ people, and adults with ADHD.

In my spare time, I can be found in nature, making things out of clay, dancing, trying out new recipes, or laughing at something silly (like myself.)
