Hi, my name is Tara! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and have been providing therapy for over 10 years. I have a lot of experience working with individuals seeking support with life transitions, anxiety, depression and ADHD. I am also certified in Perinatal Mental Health and love working with individuals throughout pregnancy and parenthood.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

First sessions are meant for information gathering and starting to build the client/therapist relationship. While this is not what our typical therapy sessions will look like, it is important to build rapport and to help me gain an understanding of what you are hoping to get out of therapy so that we can collaboratively build a treatment plan that works best for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am able to provide a safe, welcoming space for individuals while they set and work towards their goals and work through emotions. I have experience working with individuals from many different backgrounds and am willing to learn new things!

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I like to tailor treatment to the individual. I believe that treatment should be collaborative in nature, as therapy is not a one size fits all experience. While the techniques that I use most often with my clients are rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person Centered Therapy, I am open to pulling in other techniques such as Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness as needed.

Tara listens well, appropriately engages more deeply on topics, and strives to hold me accountable via specific goals. I appreciate the progress that I've made during a time of transition.

It's only been two sessions, but I'm gaining real benefit from working with Tara.
