Great to meet you!

My name is Taiann Knetge, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing affirming, inclusive, and anti-racist therapy for Black women and other Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). My work is grounded in an anti-oppressive framework that acknowledges systemic injustice while centering your healing, empowerment, and self-defined wellness. I provide a supportive, affirming space where Black women can show up fully as themselves—without having to educate or code-switch. My practice is rooted in anti-racism, cultural humility, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges that Black women navigate.

My passions is supporting individuals navigating disordered eating, body image concerns, and the complex relationship between food, body, and identity especially as it’s shaped by racism, fatphobia, and intergenerational trauma. I create a space where you can explore your relationship with your body without shame, and where healing is rooted in compassion.

My approach to therapy

I believe in building authentic connections with my clients and view the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for meaningful change. Whether you’re seeking support around food and body, identity, boundaries, or simply want a space where you can show up fully and unapologetically—I’m honored to walk alongside you in that journey.

What you can expect from me

My approach to therapy is very holistic, meeting a client where they are, free of judgment, and keeping in mind the many aspects of someone’s life that may impact their mental health. I center my sessions around mindfulness and exploring motivation for a “life worth living.” The goal is empowerment through recognizing strengths and abilities and building upon them.
