Tiandre Forde is a compassionate and dedicated Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges while fostering healing, growth, and stronger relationships. She earned her Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Central Connecticut State University. Drawn to the helping professions from an early age, Tiandre found that therapy offered a meaningful and preventative way to support individuals and families through challenges while creating opportunities for growth and lasting change.

Tiandre creates a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences without judgment. Her approach is warm, flexible, and individualized, recognizing that each person brings a unique story, set of strengths, and perspective to the therapeutic process. She works alongside clients to better understand their experiences while creating practical and meaningful steps toward healing and resilience.

Tiandre works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families who may be navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions. She helps clients explore patterns in their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships while developing healthier coping skills and communication strategies. Tiandre believes that meaningful change can happen when clients feel empowered to understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and make choices that align with the lives they want to create.

In her clinical work, Tiandre takes an integrative and individualized approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, and trauma-informed approaches. She also incorporates art therapy-informed and somatic practices when appropriate to support self-expression, emotional processing, and greater self-awareness. Tiandre tailors her approach to each client’s unique needs, using both structured and creative techniques to help clients explore their experiences, develop coping skills, and work toward meaningful change.

Tiandre believes that clients are capable of meaningful growth when they have the support, tools, and space to explore what is holding them back. Her goal is to empower clients to build resilience, strengthen their relationships, and move toward living more authentically and fully. She strives to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel both supported and encouraged as they work toward meaningful change.

Outside of the therapy room, Tiandre enjoys spending time with friends and family, creating art, reading, working out, and having picnics at the beach. She values opportunities to stay creative, connected, and active while making time for the people and experiences that bring joy to her life.
