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.
