Dr. Tangeria Adams, PhD
Welcome!
My name is Dr. Tangeria Adams, PhD and I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist working with adults in New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. I am really glad you’re here.
I’m a specialist, which means I focus deeply on a handful of concerns rather than trying to treat everything. I work primarily with anxiety, OCD, trauma and PTSD, perfectionism, and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). I use evidence-based treatments like CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-focused therapies, such as EMDR. What that really means is that our work will be practical, structured, and tailored to you.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, motivated, high-achieving adults.
They no longer want to live lives limited by anxiety, past painful experiences, or obsessional fears. I care deeply about helping people approach themselves with more curiosity and compassion while also doing the brave work of change. In our work together, you’ll build skills that will help you respond differently to anxiety, fear, self-criticism, shame, and stuck patterns. Lastly, I am also a published trauma researcher, which means I value grounding therapy in science.
Outside of work, I sew (or collect fabric and intend/pretend to sew), read, play video games when I can, and periodically attempt new hobbies, including adult martial arts. As a first-generation immigrant and first-generation college graduate, I also feel especially connected to supporting people who are figuring out how to belong while carrying high expectations for themselves.
