About me

As a psychologist, couples and family therapist, I combine analytical insights with a holistic approach. I like to understand each relationship and person within their unique cultural, social, and personal context. My sessions are process-oriented, focusing on helping you connect with your inner guidance, rather than offering advice or quick-fix solutions.

On a personal note, I understand the world from the perspective of a queer, mixed-race, currently able-bodied immigrant in her thirties. My ancestry is Ghanian-German, and as a child of the African diaspora with a family history of migration, I’ve faced the wonders, challenges, grief, and relief that come with adapting relationships to physical distance.

I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families at my independent practice, Tabanca, located in the heart of Amsterdam. Feel free to reach out! http://www.selinaboye.com

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Person-centred approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered, contextual and intersectional. I see healing not as a form of doing, but as a way of being that helps us come into alignment with our most authentic selves. My work is rooted in core values such as intersectionality, trauma sensitivity, and consent. I am passionate about transcultural systemic therapy and enjoy expanding perspectives, while my analytical side finds fulfillment in deeply exploring the human experience.

The therapeutic modalities I incorporate into my work include Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), Focusing, Nonviolent Communication, Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I intentionally welcome and support members of the queer, BIPOC, polyamorous, and non-monogamous communities, as well as those in blended or chosen family systems. My practice is queer-affirming, kink-aware, and sex work-positive.
