About Me
& the
Practice
We're so glad you're here. We provide neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA+-affirming mental health care to adults across Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, and North Carolina — all delivered by telehealth, wherever you are in one of those states. Whether you're formally diagnosed, self-identified, or still figuring out what fits, you're welcome here exactly as you are.
What We Offer
Neurodivergence isn't something we're here to fix or smooth over — it's a different way of experiencing the world, and that understanding shapes every service below.
Individual Therapy — trauma, anxiety, depression, executive functioning, chronic illness, burnout, and relationship patterns, approached with real clinical expertise, a coaching-style focus on practical strategies, and real respect for your own expertise in your life.
EMDR & EMDR Intensives — an evidence-based, effective approach to processing trauma, used as a primary treatment or as an adjunct to other therapy, available in standard sessions or condensed intensive formats.
Therapy Groups — closed-cohort, curriculum-based groups on DBT skills, boundaries, habit change, burnout, emotional vocabulary, and finding your people.
Executive Functioning & Body Doubling Support — practical, non-judgmental help with the parts of daily life that sensory and executive-functioning differences make harder — not a productivity fix, just real support.
Case Management — support navigating the systems around your care, not just the therapy itself.
Who We're Here For
We work with adults 20 and up. That means paying real attention to things like sensory overwhelm and executive functioning struggles, not just offering vague affirmation. Aimee is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and a neurodivergent clinician herself, and that shows up in how we practice: we talk to you directly, explain things in plain language, and never treat who you are as something to fix.
Meet Aimee
I'm Aimee, and I founded The Rainbow Initiative because I wanted to build the kind of practice I wish had existed when I needed one. I'm a cis woman, queer, and a neurodivergent therapist, and I'm honored to work with clients across the LGBTQIA+ community — including expansive gender identities and sexual orientations. Being part of this community myself means I understand, first-hand, why representation in the therapy room matters. Being neurodivergent shapes how I work too — I ask direct questions, I challenge old patterns openly, and I break down complex psychoeducation into plain language.
I graduated from Boston University's School of Social Work in 2016 with a Master's in Social Work. Since then, I've worked in community mental health and hospital settings, providing individual and group therapy, before opening this practice.
In my practice, I work with many clients dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, dysphoria, and toxic relationships. While I bring clinical knowledge and expertise in these areas, my clients bring expertise in their own lives and experiences. Together, we work as a team to determine how best to support you as an individual. I believe that each of us has done the best we can with what we had at each phase of our lives. Sometimes the coping skills developed by our former selves no longer work for us in the present. In those cases, we do not judge our former selves. Now that you're here, we can reflect on what tools and strategies may no longer serve you. I will listen to you with empathy and without judgement. Together we will develop new strategies to replace the ones that no longer serve you. These concrete strategies ensure that the work does not only happen in our time together, but also in your day-to-day life. It is my privilege to offer you the support and space that you need at this time.
