Introduction

Hello! I’m Dr. Tinai James, and I believe that healing happens best in a space where you—and your children—feel seen, understood, and truly at home. As an African American psychologist, I bring my full, authentic self to our sessions, blending clinical expertise with a deep appreciation for the cultural nuances that shape our lives. I specialize in supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and parents navigating the complexities of Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Trauma. Whether it’s a toddler struggling with big emotions, a teen facing a difficult life transition, or a parent looking for grounded support, my goal is to provide a therapy experience that is: Playful & Engaging: For my younger clients, I use creativity and play to make "the hard work" feel a little lighter. Culturally Centered: I honor the traditions and strengths of the BIPOC community, ensuring therapy feels like a partnership, not a lecture. Evidence-Based & Empathetic: I use proven therapeutic techniques to help my clients build resilience and find their voice. Life transitions can be messy, and mental health challenges can feel isolating. I’m here to provide the tools and the trust needed to navigate those seasons. My practice, Dr. Tinai James, PhD, LLC, is more than just a clinic—it’s a soft place to land and a strong place to grow.
