Dr. Tina M. Boni has returned to the Nashville area after residing and practicing in the Pittsburgh, PA area for over 20 years. Dr. Boni obtained her Doctorate in Psychology from Carlow University in Pittsburgh and completed her residency in Health Psychology at Conemaugh Health Systems, the largest healthcare provider in west central Pennsylvania. She went on to pursue a fellowship in Pediatric Health Psychology at The Children’s Institute of Pittsburgh, the only CARF-accredited freestanding pediatric specialty rehabilitation hospital in Pennsylvania.
Dr. Boni brings a wealth of experience with children, adolescents and families and has a long history of providing specialized treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Disorders, Behavioral Disorders and Eating Disorders. Additionally, she is able to provide treatment for both women and children who have a history of trauma or abuse, and has extensive training in both ABA and DBT approaches. Dr. Boni delivers evidence-based treatment via a Multimodal therapy approach to counseling, which allows for uniquely tailored interventions to address each patient’s individual needs. In addition to counseling services, she offers diagnostic evaluations, assessments and consultative services to individuals, families, pediatricians and schools.
Dr. Boni has a passion for the advocacy of underserved populations and has volunteered her time and expertise to NAMI, The American Diabetes Association and, most recently, The Arc of Tennessee. In her leisure time she enjoys spending weekends with her family and pets, as well as river boating and traveling to new places.
“Based on my own life experience and research, I know how difficult it can be to find a provider that has expertise in childhood disorders, and how stressful parenting a child with differences can be. Early and accurate diagnosis and treatment makes all the difference for these families and allows for new directions to evolve."
