Hi there! My name is Tahara, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Connecticut and Florida. I'm here to help you navigate the sometimes confusing world of emotions with compassion and understanding. My passion is helping people like you build self-confidence, advocate for themselves, and achieve emotional well-being. Let's work together to help you feel your best!
In our first session, we'll kick things off by getting to know each other. I'll ask about your background, what brings you in, and what you hope to achieve. It's a chance for you to share your story and for me to understand your goals for therapy. We'll discuss the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and any burning questions you might have. It's pretty laid back, so feel free to be yourself and we'll go from there!
Attachment Theory is the cornerstone of my approach. It helps us understand how early relationships shape our patterns of relating to others throughout life. By delving into your unique attachment style, we can uncover the roots of your challenges and develop strategies to nurture healthier connections. In our work together, we'll not only explore Attachment Theory but also harness the power of effective communication skills. Learning to express your thoughts, feelings, and needs clearly and assertively is key to fostering positive, fulfilling relationships. Through practical techniques and strategies, you'll gain the tools to communicate with confidence.
My biggest strengths are working with individuals who are in need of a therapist who will activate their self agency and hold them accountable to the change that they are working towards. My experience in working with populations dealing with traumatic histories has enabled me to have empathy and understanding in the process of healing for these individuals.
