Nahrain D. Tavolacci, Psy.D. (Dr. T)
About Dr. T
I believe therapy works best when clients feel heard, respected, and understood. My approach is warm, individualized, and collaborative, with attention to each person’s unique circumstances, strengths, and goals.
Currently accepting new clients, in person and by telehealth. Not sure if I’m the right fit? Start with a free consultation with Dr. Nancy Mann, our Client Care Coordinator, who will help match you with the clinician best suited to your needs.
I work to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment where clients can talk openly and feel supported as they work through challenges. I adapt my approach to the needs of each client rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method.
My therapeutic work draws from approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Depending on the client and their goals, I may also incorporate other therapeutic approaches to help develop practical skills, increase self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and support meaningful change.
