Tara is an outpatient therapist with three years of experience in providing mental health support. Her background includes delivering therapy for children in both school and outpatient settings, helping them navigate emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges.
Tara primarily works with children and provides mental health support focusing on concerns related to: anxiety, depression, life adjustments, and self-esteem. As an outpatient therapist, she utilizes a variety of evidence-based and developmentally appropriate approaches, including play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused interventions. These methods allow her to meet each child’s unique needs while encouraging growth, resilience, and emotional regulation through effective therapy for children.
Tara's therapeutic style as an outpatient therapist is collaborative and creative. She believes that mental health support should be a space where clients feel understood, supported, and actively involved in their own growth.
She views the therapeutic relationship as one built on empathy, consistency, and meeting clients exactly where they are in their journey. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental and supportive environment where they remain in control of the therapeutic process.
Together, they work toward individualized goals using creative, engaging, and developmentally appropriate strategies that make therapy for children both effective and meaningful.
Tara is motivated by a deep belief in hope and resilience, which is particularly significant in her work as an outpatient therapist. She is guided by the idea that 'out of struggle, strength grows,' reflecting her belief that even life’s most difficult moments can become opportunities for healing and growth through effective mental health support, especially in therapy for children.
Tara enjoys bringing play, creativity, and connection into both her personal life and her work as an outpatient therapist. One of her favorite aspects of providing mental health support is when clients share their hobbies and interests, introducing new activities that can be explored together during therapy for children sessions.
