Dr. addyson tucker - Wholehearted Psych

I'm a genderqueer & neurodivergent pet parent. Also a psychologist who practices the neuroaffective relational model (NARM®) through an anti-oppressive & queer liberation lens. Hoping for a future that feels a lot less oppressive and a lot more liberating for every single one of us.

Supporting those at the intersections healing from internalized shame, oppression based & complex trauma. We will hold space for the impact of oppression while also centering your hopes for yourself.

Many of the queer, trans & nonbinary adults I serve also also hold lived experiences of the following:
a) neurodivergence like ADHD & autism;
b) body stuff such as disability, chronic pain, & chronic illness
c) race & cultural backgrounds including BIPOC, 1st-2nd gen immigrants, or mixed race/light skin; &
d) those in marginalized bodies who are fighting against diet culture & weight loss industrial complex in a world that pushes body size & shape modification at all turns (e.g., trans students struggling with disordered eating recovery & fat folks trying to ground in fat liberation).

I am a certified NARM therapist (Neuroaffective Relational Model), as well as a certified Body Trust Provider.
My approach centers radical healing through an anti oppressive lens, cultivating shame resilience and self compassion. This includes exploring identity and navigating those 'not good enough' or 'too much' experiences that tend to trigger shame.

Clinical 1:1 services via telehealth only for adults located in MA and RI, as well as telehealth in PsyPACT locations (e.g., CO, WA, IL, MD, VT, DC, MN, & CT). Only see 5-12 clients weekly. Though not a specialty, I occasionally support families, couples, and polycules.
