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, with real, specific attention to things like sensory overwhelm and executive functioning struggles — not just abstract affirmation. Our founder is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and a neurodivergent clinician herself, which shapes how we practice: direct communication, plain-language psychoeducation, and zero pathologizing of who you are.
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.
My clients bring the expertise on their own lives. I bring clinical knowledge. Together, we figure out what actually supports you — not a generic template. I believe everyone did the best they could with what they had at each point in their life, including with the coping strategies that no longer serve you now. We won't judge your former self here. We'll just figure out, together, what might work better today.
