COUNSELOR EDUCATOR · CLINICAL SUPERVISOR · SCHOLAR-PRACTITIONER · LIBERATION ACTIVIST · STORYTELLER
once you liberate your mind, you can liberate your body — the chamber of your heart.
i am dr. andrea “dre” stiles (she/ella/professor), a Black-Feminist-Womxnist scholar, licensed clinical professional counselor, counselor educator, clinical supervisor, sexologist, and storyteller.
rooted in a love for wisdom, this space gathers my scholarship, lived experience, and ancestral knowing to trace the many ways liberation moves through story, spirit, body, relationship, and becoming.
here, philosophy is lived. stories carry knowledge and liberation is understood as collective awakening. an ongoing practice of coming into consciousness together. it is relational, cultural, embodied, and tied to how we come to know ourselves, care for one another, and move toward freedom together.
PHILOSOPHIA { love for wisdom }
“True liberation is holistic — it is intellectual, embodied, spiritual, ancestral, relational, and erotic. It is not a destination. It is a practice of becoming.”
