queer, neurodivergent & autistic-affirming talk therapy in Massachusetts.
Who I Work With
As we all know, members of the LGBTQIA+ community face many additional unique challenges that cause harm and trauma on a daily basis. As a queer-identifying therapist myself, I personally understand how these challenges impact our lives every day. I'm grateful that you've taken the first step to seek support.
I'd love to be your guide as we work through these challenges. I see your harm and feel your harm. It's valid. I have tools I can bring to our conversation that can help turn these challenges into strength.
I firmly believe that all genders, identities, expressions, orientations, sexes, relationships, and sexualities are valid. I promise to give you a safe, confidential, and inclusive space.
Being neurodivergent in a world designed for neurotypicals is deeply hard. Whether you have an official diagnosis or not, your experiences are valid and it's OK that you process things around you in your own unique way.
As an individual with ADHD, I deeply understand the challenges associated with being neurodivergent. It can be overwhelming to manage one's feelings, stressors, and activities of daily living.
Let's talk about ways to transform these challenges into strengths that reaffirm our identities, and support our core values.
Note: I don't practice, advocate for, nor champion in any way, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
These days, it's rough being 18-30 years old. The world is a difficult place, and it's especially hard with challenges like new relationships, parents, the failures of our hypercapitalist economy, lifestyles that aren't fully understood and accepted yet, and everything else.
It really does help to talk with someone who can hold space for you. I work with young people every day and I understand this reality. Our conversations are confidential.
I'm experienced supporting many lifestyles and communities, including but not limited to: folks exploring their sexual identity/preferences, folks practicing ethical nonmonogamy, folks with atypical gender expression, kink, and many more. Your lifestyle is valid and I accept you as you are.
I practice in a variety of modalities, so whatever you're comfortable with is what I'm comfortable with. Let's talk!
Complex trauma isn't one bad day, it's a thousand smaller ones that stack up over months or years until your nervous system starts running on survival mode by default. Your trauma responses are real, confusing at times, and valid.
I work with CPTSD using tools like IFS and DBT, but the actual first step is usually just naming what happened without minimizing it. You don't need the perfect story or the right words yet.
If this is you, let's unpack it together, at whatever pace your nervous system can actually handle.
You spend your working hours holding space for everyone else — showing up for your clients takes something out of you too, and that adds up.
As a therapist myself, I understand the particular flavor of burnout, compassion fatigue, and the discomfort of turning inward when you're used to being the one who listens. Being on this side of the couch doesn't mean you have it all figured out, and it shouldn't have to.
Let's make space for the person doing all that caretaking, for once.
Not every reason to reach out is a crisis — sometimes you're just stuck, and that counts too.
Anxiety and depression don't always look dramatic. Sometimes it's going through the motions, feeling flat, or knowing something needs to change but not knowing where to start.
Let's figure out what's keeping you stuck and find a way through it together.
About Me
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life.—Prince
Hi there, I'm Tiana (she/her)! I'm a queer and neurodivergent-identified therapist practicing virtually in Massachusetts. Thanks for stopping by — you're doing the hardest part already, just by taking this first step. I value and celebrate your strength.
Authenticity isn't just a buzzword for me — it's a foundational principle that guides my practice. Having experienced therapy from both sides of the room, I understand that honest and effective therapy requires raw and true vulnerability. For you to feel truly comfortable and supported in that vulnerability, you need to know that I am a safe space for you — and that authenticity and sense of safety begin with me. That's why you can always rely on me to show up as my authentic self in every session. Together, we can create a space where growth, transformation, and personal empowerment can thrive.
Speaking of growth, I've been trying harder in my own life to delegate things off my "to-do" list so I can focus on what I love — which is why I've hired my spouse, Marty McCrory, as practice manager! If you're a client, you can expect to hear from him about scheduling, administrative support, and insurance.
When I'm not working, you'll probably find me snuggling with my soul cat (Piper), invested in a book, tending my indoor plant jungle, or planning my next travel adventure!
My Approach
I always like to hear about your past experiences with therapy. If you've tried things before, it's important to me to understand what worked well for you and what didn't — let's face it, sometimes therapy just doesn't hit the mark, and that's okay!
From there, I tend to lean into an eclectic approach as a starting point, since I don't always align with a "one size fits all" model. I employ a collaborative blend of evidence-based treatment models such as:
- Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Motivational Interviewing (MI)
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Although I naturally tend towards an eclectic approach, if you prefer or find that a specific modality resonates best with you, I'm fully open to focusing on that during our sessions. Your comfort and progress are my priorities, and I'm committed to tailoring our approach to best meet your needs. There may also be times I feel one approach is clinically the best fit, and we can talk through how that looks together! (I don't practice, advocate for, or champion, in any way, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).)
I also take a sex-positive, kink-aware approach to therapy — whether you're monogamous, practicing ethical non-monogamy, exploring kink, or still figuring out what works for you, all of that is welcome here.
In addition to my Master's in Social Work (MSW) and clinical license (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, in Massachusetts), I hold the following certifications:
- Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Professional (C-DBT)
- Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP)
- Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP)
- Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP)
As of February 1, 2026, I've transitioned to an entirely virtual practice.
