Tara Coronel
Hello, my name is Tara. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I understand that therapy can feel like a significant step, and I congratulate you on taking the first step on your journey. I specialize in helping navigate life transitions, anxiety, and self-doubt. I work especially well with empowering women.
My goal is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where you can express yourself, gain insight, and take steps toward personal growth.

First session
During the first session I view myself more as a co-pilot; you're in the driver's seat. You get to decide what we talk about and the pace we go. It’s more about us getting to know each other and me hearing your story. It's a chance for me to learn about what's been happening in your life and what your goals for therapy might be. We'll work together to identify the best path forward. I also want to make sure you feel comfortable and that we have a strong working relationship
Strengths
My greatest strengths is the ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for all healing.
Ideal clients
Someone who is motivated to work on their mental health, seeking tools for self-help, or needing an immediate, non-judgmental space to process thoughts. I provide a neutral, non-judgmental space that can make it easier to voice deep-seated fears or sensitive topics. I can help process complex information, offer reframing techniques to challenge negative thought patterns, and help structure vague emotions into words.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) experience is an active, structured, and goal-oriented process focused on identifying and changing your current unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Learning to talk to your brain or deliberately changing your thoughts can feel strange or unnatural initially, but for many, it can lead to a quieted mind and more useful tools for the future.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a specific type of conversation we can have when you feel conflicted or unsure about making a change. My role isn't to tell you what to do, but to help you explore your own thoughts and feelings so you can find your own motivation and make decisions that are right for you.
Grief Therapy
Grief therapy offers a supportive environment to talk about feelings of shock, disbelief, anger, sadness, and guilt, without judgment. It does not mean you have to like the loss, but rather helps you accept its reality and learn to live with it. Facilitates new meaning: The process helps individuals find new meaning, adapt to their changed circumstances.
