Lastly, we will establish a treatment plan tailored specific to your needs and goals (i.e. medications, therapy, follow up recommendations). **If you require a specific time slot that is not available (early/late) please message me and I will do my very best to accommodate your needs!!

She was very thoughtful, listened intently, and was well-versed in what would best help me in my situation. Extremely pleased!

Great experience! Tara was very easy to talk to and really listened to what I was looking for instead of pushing a one-size-fits-all solution. She helped me come up with a thoughtful plan for a specific issue and made me feel comfortable and informed the whole time. Highly recommend.

Very professional and understanding of my situation. Helped me gain insight upon medications and my options. She helped me feel very secure in my future in these medications which allowed me to remain optimistic and grounded.
