Dr C. Timothy Riney

Clinical Psychologist

“An experienced clinical psychologist providing culturally-competent assessment and psychotherapy services to a diversity of adult clients.”

About Me

As an experienced clinical psychologist, I provide culturally-competent assessment and psychotherapy. I offer a space where diverse adult clients can explore their concerns openly. We work together to understand your unique background and develop tailored strategies for well-being. My aim is for our sessions to truly resonate. I want to help you navigate challenges and build a stronger sense of self.

Approach

My approach leans toward careful assessment that maps your history, identity and current stressors into a clear, collaborative plan. In my Norcross office I work in English and move at a deliberate pace suited to adults and older adults facing anxiety, grief, chronic illness or shifts in cognition; sessions combine focused conversation, practical skills and brief between-session reflections or experiments. I track progress with you and adjust strategies as life unfolds. People seeking thoughtful, culturally aware, practical work tend to find this style helpful.
