I am passionate about joining women in their journey to growth, healing and moving forward through life’s transitions in creative and life-affirming ways. If you are experiencing the loss of a relationship, ambivalence about your career and the direction of your life or struggling with past negative life events that impact you, I can help provide a safe and supportive space to help guide you through the places where you feel stuck. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Hello and welcome! I am Tara Murphy, LPC, LADC, EMDR certified therapist. I have been working in behavioral health for 25 years. My practice motto is "I won't have you try anything I haven't done myself."
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and what you hope to get out of it. In addition, I gather a personal history to finally arrive at a initial plan for treatment. By the end of the first session you should be able to identify targets for treatment along with methods that will be used.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is pulling from all of my life experiences to help you and the use of humor. From the performing and visual arts to treatment modalities, I pull from many areas to give you the skills you need to enjoy a happier life.
