My name is Tay Richardson but you can call me TR. I am a Black, trans/nonbinary, and queer therapist who aims to form collaborative relationships with my clients and provide liberating mental health services. As someone with multiple minoritized identities, I have experienced the challenges associated with navigating a world that doesn’t always validate the nuanced aspects and complexities of these identities. This personal experience fuels my passion for helping others work through challenges and develop the tools and skills needed to better understand and navigate them.

Let's be real, we all need some space to process... (on a global scale). Together we can create a space for self-empowerment, self-compassion, and radical self acceptance. In a world that often fails to be safe, welcoming, or to honor our unique brilliance, I work to nurture personal identity and self-expression. Together, we rewrite the stories that have shaped us, giving voice to past harms and hurts while also addressing the impact of societal, individual, and generational trauma. My mission is to witness and empower, to root in the co-regulation of the therapeutic relationship and the immeasurable wisdom of your own body.

I help folks cope and heal from sexual and relationship trauma. Trauma can fracture who you are as a person. It can make you feel unlike yourself, distant from others, and changed forever. This does not have to be permanent. Together, we can build resilience, access your strengths, and let your past stay in the past. Learning to understand your trauma, manage symptoms, change patterns, and increase self-esteem can help you cultivate the life and meaningful relationships that you want. Most of my clients have experienced rape, sexual assault, ritual abuse, childhood abuse, systemic oppression, and/or violence from a partner.

I know how hard it can be to open up to a new person. Trust between you and your therapist is key for successful treatment and I want to help ease the transition. In the session we will work to unpack how you are managing emotionally, cognitively, physically, spiritually, and socially. My training has focused on high functioning individuals who may be successful in many domains (e.g., students, professionals) but are looking to improve functioning across the board. Let's look at past, present and future. We can collaborate to find the path for you - whether it is your first time or this is part of a long history in treatment.

I’m not the type of therapist who just nods and takes notes.
I show up fully—real, grounded, and invested. Therapy should be a space where you feel seen, challenged when it counts, and supported without judgment. If what you’ve been doing isn’t working, you’re not broken—you’re just ready for something different.
I’ll meet you with honesty and empathy, creating a space where we can get to the root of things and push through the stuck points. I truly believe that everyone walking through my door wants change—even if you don’t know what it looks like YET. Together, we will uncover that change, and work towards a brighter future
