About Me

Dr. Tee (Dr. Tara Riley, DSW, LCSW-C) is a licensed clinical social worker, speaker, and the CEO of *Renewing Minds, Restoring Hope*. With over 25 years of experience in the field, I specialize in supporting women—particularly Black women—navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and integrates this evidence-based approach with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and culturally responsive care. My work centers healing, empowerment, and liberation, and I am passionate about creating safe spaces for clients to unpack generational pain and reclaim their peace.
