Intro

Hello! My name is Tiarra Currie, and I am forensic and clinical psychologist who is licensed to practice in Washington, DC and Virginia. I have spent most of my clinical years training with patients from diverse backgrounds and within the community mental health system.  My goal has been to consistently provide compassionate and culturally sensitive mental health treatment to patients of all walks of life.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I am very invested in providing services that reflects flexibility, open mindedness, as well as compassionate and intuitive care.  Working with individuals diagnosed with Autism and those who identify as neurodivergent has been a privilege as it allows creativity and person-centered interventions in a meaningful and thoughtful manner.  I also enjoy the opportunity to identify and process the nexus between cultural factors and mental health.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I have enjoyed working with individuals from a strength based and affirming approach as it continues to reiterate that everyone is unique and is deserving of a space to be their individual selves.  It is a reminder that having a space and therapeutic environment to feel empowered, heard, seen, and valued is important for everyone and I have a responsibility to provide it.
