Hello, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and everyday stressors. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years and have a wealth of experience with multiple types of people. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood and comfortable exploring what’s been weighing on you. Together, we’ll build insight, strengthen coping skills, and help you move toward meaningful and lasting change.

I am a Colorado and South Carolina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with: individuals in the midst of grief and other major phase-of-life transitions like divorce, job loss, legal challenges, etc.; teenagers who are struggling with a variety of mental health challenges; couples and families that are struggling to find common ground; and fractured families prior to, during, and after divorce. Building strong families, even through divorce or custody battles, incarceration, or other prolonged periods of estrangement, is a particular area of focus for me. I offer reintegration therapy services for parents and children who have experienced short- and long-term separation or alienation. I love working with families who want to find a way to function better post-divorce. In addition, I spent a decade working for the Alzheimer's Association, which included counseling individuals and families who were facing a diagnosis of dementia. Prior to venturing into the counseling field, I ran a non-profit that operated a 100-bed homeless shelter, a family transitional housing program, and an eight-unit supportive housing project for Veterans. I have a heart for working with military veterans and their families -- having 22 years of service in the US Air Force myself. I served on Active Duty for 6 years, and after a break in service, completed another 16 years as a Reservist. My spouse served alongside me, with each of us deploying twice. Our son is currently serving as well. Therefore, I have been the deployed service member, the spouse left to manage things back home, and the mom watching her "baby" deploy to far-off places. There is almost no part of military service I do not understand through first-hand experience.

Hi! My name is Danielle and I have been in the field of social work for 13 years. I have worked in multiple systems with a wide breadth of people and problems. I completed my Bachelor’s in Psychology with the University of Colorado at Denver in 2016. With this degree, I worked with the Children’s Hospital completing research on child abuse prevention and treatment. I then worked at a residential treatment center for adolescents, followed by becoming a Program Director for two separate Brain Balance Centers, where I worked with children and adolescents with cognitive, behavioral, and learning disorders. I began my Master’s in Social Work program with the University of Denver in 2019. I completed two year long internships there; the first doing case management with American Red Cross, helping families who were displaced due to disaster find resources. The second was working at Arapahoe County Jail with adult males with serious mental illness in a restoration to competency program. During my graduate program I was employed by AllHealth Network as a case manager in one of their psychiatric hospitals, providing crisis stabilization. Upon graduating with my Master’s degree in 2021, I worked as a mental health provider in a center based special education program at a middle school. I also did the same work at an elementary school with the general education population. I have now been in private practice since 2022; which has been my favorite experience so far, as I am able to work with all ages and populations in one place.

Since earning my Master's in Social Work in 2016, I've dedicated my career to supporting individuals through life's challenges. My journey has taken me from child protective services and a mental health hospital in Colorado, to working with individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction, and serving as a school social worker across all grade levels. Now, in Georgia, I balance my private practice with working as a clinician at a crisis center, helping those in mental health emergencies. My passion lies in guiding teenagers, adolescents, and young adults through life's transitions—whether it's school, work, or relationships—and helping them find their path forward.

Many of my clients come in feeling stuck in the same painful patterns—miscommunication, emotional distance, or conflict that never fully gets resolved. Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles, anxiety, or the impact of childhood trauma, therapy can help you better understand yourself and create lasting change. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with attachment wounds, relational challenges, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll explore how your past experiences show up in your present relationships and build healthier ways of connecting with yourself and others. My style is warm, supportive, and direct. I’ll meet you with compassion, but I also won’t shy away from gently challenging patterns that keep you stuck. I value creating a safe, trusting space where you can be yourself, while also helping you move forward in meaningful ways.

Hello, I'm Susan Simianer, an LPC in Colorado. With over 15 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate life's challenges and transitions. I have a deep passion for person-centered therapy, where you, as my client, guide your own process. I believe in the power of autonomy and strive to emphasize it in every aspect of your life. My approach is comprehensive, especially when working with trauma, depression, and anxiety disorders. I have spent years educating clients on healthy relationships and providing support around codependency. Throughout my career, I have worked as a school-based therapist, providing therapy to students, and in a medical setting, delivering behavioral health care to patients. Currently, I work alongside other counselors in a practice dedicated to supporting families experiencing poverty and mental health issues. My specialties include working with trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, depression, dissociative disorders, family relationships, life transitions, domestic violence, intimate/romantic relationships, somatic symptom disorder, spirituality, and stress. My modalities include, cognitive behavioral therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, somatic work, and Neurofeedback. I live in a small town with my husband on the Western Slope of Colorado which is so beautiful. I get to spend my summers going to Crested Butte, Telluride, Ouray and all of the great mountain towns. My kids are grown. Having lived in both Denver and rural areas, I understand the unique challenges and benefits of different living environments. My sincere hope is to help you become more resilient and to sustain and/or create healthy relationships with those you care about. Together, we can identify your values, strengths, hopes, and dreams, and develop the skills you need to navigate this world with confidence.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who resides in Arizona. I have an LPC in both the state of Arizona and Colorado. For more than 8 years I have worked with both young adults and adults suffering from mood disorders, chemical addictions, behavioral addictions, and grief/loss. I have specific training in grief therapy, sexual addiction, as well as trauma informed care.

My name is Cinthia Brown, and I consider myself to be a compassionate therapist who creates a safe, supportive space for growth and healing. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of the work that we will do together, and have experience working with individuals, families, adolescents, and the military culture. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating life transitions, including parenthood, career, and identity struggles.

I’m Niambi Bloom, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, milspouse, mom of two, and dog mom. I earned my BA in Psychology from New York University and went on to complete my MSSW at Columbia University, focusing on Clinical Social Work in Health, Mental Health, and Disabilities. Over the years, I’ve worked in crisis settings, supported families as a birth doula, and taught cultural competency to future providers. My journey to becoming a therapist began with curiosity about the human mind and passion for helping others. Working in crisis settings, as a birth doula, and teaching cultural competency, I noticed pregnant and postpartum moms often lack needed mental health support. This fueled my commitment to creating a safe space for this community.

Hey! I am Dr. Martecia "Tecii" Oates and I am a licensed professional counselor servicing clients in CO, FL and OK. I specialize in working with current and former athletes, college students, and adults navigating major life transitions between the ages of 16 and 40. My clients often struggle with anxiety, depression, low confidence, or feeling overwhelmed by what’s next. I focus on helping you understand what’s holding you back, strengthen your sense of self, and create forward momentum, without pressure to have everything figured out.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and actively working in the field since 2010. I have been told that I have a calming presence, a decent sense of professional insight, and a serious approach to empowering clients to find success and improve their mental health. You don’t have to suffer in silence. I am there for you. I listen, collaboratively work with you, assist with life goals and help guide you toward better mental health.

I’m Pedro Zabala III, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate emotional challenges, addictive patterns, and major life transitions. My work centers on supporting clients who feel stuck between who they’ve been and who they want to become. I believe every person carries an innate capacity for healing, even when life feels overwhelming or unclear. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, OCD, relationship stress, identity exploration, and workplace or career-related challenges. I also specialize in helping clients re-evaluate their relationships with substances and behavioral addictions, approaching this work with compassion and without shame. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in your lived experience. I integrate person-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, CBT, DBT, solution-focused strategies, and narrative therapy. Together, we explore your story, build practical skills, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change at a pace that feels right for you.

At the heart of my practice is the belief that you possess an incredible capacity for deep growth and healing. I provide a compassionate and collaborative space where you can explore the challenges that stem from anxiety, stress, trauma, and more. It's common to feel like something's missing, or that you're not quite good enough – constantly thinking happiness depends on getting "this" or waiting for "that." But this kind of thinking often leaves us on the receiving end of life, instead of actively shaping it.

I'm not just a therapist. I'm a coffee enthusiast who starts each day with a pour-over and a quiet moment before the world wakes up. I'm an outdoor lover who believes fresh air and moving my body are non-negotiable whether that's a hike, 4x4ing, hitting the resort/ backcountry, a walk with the family, or just standing in the backyard feeling the sun. And I'm a family man. A partner. A parent. Someone who knows what it's like to be pulled in ten directions and still want to show up fully for the people around me. That life outside the office isn't separate from my work. It's what keeps me refreshed, grounded, and able to come back to this chair with presence and energy. I don't just talk about balance I live it, imperfectly and intentionally. The work I've done reflects that same groundedness. I've been shaped by a wide range of experiences: residential treatment settings where the stakes were high and the progress was hard-won. Outpatient practice where life happens between sessions jobs, kids, marriages, breakdowns and breakthroughs. I've sat with clients across the entire lifespan, from geriatric patients navigating legacy and loss to teens just beginning to ask who they are. That breadth taught me something: suffering doesn't discriminate by age, and neither does healing. Whether you're sixteen or sixty, whether you're processing trauma or just trying to feel less alone, the fundamentals are the same. You want to be seen. You want to be understood. And you want a way forward that actually fits your life. That's what I'm here for.

Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm so glad you're here. I want to recognize the courage it takes to begin this process. Whether you're feeling a mix of hope, confusion, or relief, simply being here is a significant step toward your mental health goals. I work hard to create an environment that is safe and down to earth where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges related to anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. I focus on helping clients develop flexible thinking and self-compassion — practical tools that help you step away from the self-criticism and stuck patterns that keep life feeling heavy. In our sessions, you can expect honest, grounding conversations that help you slow down, get clear on what you need, and start moving in a direction that actually feels like you. Counseling offers the space to figure out the 'how' — whether that's rebuilding, resting, or simply learning to be who you are. If something here clicked for you, trust that. Schedule a session and let's start building something better together.

Hi! I am so happy that you have made the decision to take this time for yourself and your needs. I'm Caitlin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Colorado and Florida. I began my practice career as a crisis clinician in Emergency Services serving populations from children & adolescents to the geriatric community; since then, I have moved on to private practice working with clients in Virginia, Florida, Missouri, and am currently living and practicing in Colorado!

Hi, I’m Rachel Wirtanen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Denver, Colorado. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD. My approach integrates polyvagal-informed, nervous system–focused therapy with holistic interventions—including mindfulness, nature-based practices, and somatic tools—to support meaningful and lasting healing. I strive to create a compassionate space where you feel seen, empowered, and supported as you reconnect with your resilience.

Life can change in an instant — through injury, diagnosis, loss or unexpected life events- leaving you overwhelmed, unsteady, or unsure how to move forward. Whether you are directly experiencing a major life change or supporting someone who is, you may be navigating uncertainty, grief, and a life that no longer feels the same. Moving forward is not about "getting over it." It's about gently finding your footing within circumstances that you did not choose. I work with individuals and family caregivers navigating unfamiliar emotional terrain and rebuilding a sense of self and stability. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and offer telehealth in Colorado and Arizona. I am passionate about supporting individuals going through some of life's most challenging changes. But you do not need to have a defining life event to reach out, many of my clients are overwhelmed with how much life has changed.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with individuals across all stages of life, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I specialize in helping others with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem/self-confidence, imposter syndrome, career exploration, and relationship issues. Seeking help is a huge first step, and I do my absolute best to make the entire therapeutic process as smooth and easygoing as possible by embracing a positive, eclectic, and non-judgmental approach to therapy.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or disconnected from yourself? You’re not alone. I help clients navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with compassion and insight. My goal is to support you in feeling more grounded, understood, and empowered to move forward in your life. My approach is transpersonal, mindfulness-based, and person-centered. I focus on helping you reconnect with your inner wisdom while strengthening the mind-body connection. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and experiences in a way that feels safe and supportive. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, integrating mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and relational work to support deep and lasting healing.

I am the founder of a clinic named The Best Mental Health Practice of Southern Colorado for 2025. I know that we all go through unusually stressful times and need competent and accessible help. I have been providing trauma-informed psychotherapy before it was a buzzword and specialize in trauma-focused family services. I have experience as a research psychologist in Europe and a successful practitioner in the US working with adults who struggle with trauma symptoms, divorce/post-divorce adjustment issues, couples conflict, and parent-child challenges.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering in-person and online therapy in Colorado. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and work-related stress. Many of my clients are professionals seeking greater work-life balance while managing the demands of their careers, relationships, and family life. Even while doing “all the right things,” clients often feel overwhelmed or stuck and are looking for space to gain clarity and create meaningful change. In our work together, we will focus on building practical coping skills, managing stress more effectively, and approaching life transitions with greater confidence. We will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop strategies to support emotional well-being, stronger relationships, and sustainable personal and professional growth.

I am an art therapist, psychotherapist, and visual artist. In my practice, I combine a wide range of therapeutic approaches with my creative background. I integrate mindfulness, EMDR, and a strengths-based perspective, grounded in cultural humility and evidence-based practices. Through therapeutic art techniques and other holistic modalities, I support clients in rebuilding a healthy relationship with themselves and with others. The therapeutic process allowed us gain new perspective on our experiences, better understand our patterns, and expand our emotional awareness. At the heart of my work is the belief that while the past shapes us, it does not define us—it can guide us toward who we want to become.

As a social worker for twenty years, I have seen both the incredible hardships that people face as well as human resilience and adaptability. I became a therapist because I believe that healing happens best when we feel seen, heard, and accepted—just as we are. In therapy sessions, I use humor, warmth, and genuine respect to create a safe and supportive space for that purpose.

I have been a therapist for over 18 years. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations and have lived in five different countries. I am action-oriented and believe in actively working towards treatment goals. In each session, short treatment assignments (10 minutes a day or less) are given to keep you focused and moving forward to achieve treatment success.

Before I worked as a counselor I worked as a technical writer and software tester, and then as a caseworker in social services. I have also been a studio engineer with much work in audio and video editing and got to spend a year on the film festival circuit for a documentary I made about being an independent musician. All of those experiences I feel are helpful in working with clients from different backgrounds and perhaps in understanding that most of us want to find something meaningful in this life and often feel that we still don't know what our real calling.

My counseling style is empathic and conversational, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. We'll incorporate your experiences, feelings, and values into a meaningful life story. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, narrative, and evidence-based strategies while allowing space for rediscovery, growth, and repair. I specialize in depression, self-esteem, substance use and misuse, men's mental health, and relationship issues. Relationships are often the most important things in our lives, and all treatment holds this at its core. When we pursue change, we strengthen our relationships and become better partners, parents and friends. I strive to meet the client where they're at and tailor the approach based on their needs. My style is empathic and supportive. We will figure out where and how you'd like to make changes, uncover the patterns that have kept you stuck, and do the rewarding work of letting go of the things that aren't working for you anymore.

Hi, I'm Kristin. I'm a Licensed Addiction Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I have worked in the field of co-occurring disorders since 2011, primarily in substance use treatment programs, jails, and with individuals struggling with serious mental illness. I began my private practice during the height of COVID-19 in May 2020. I specialize in relationship issues (boundary work, attachment styles, and interpersonal dynamics), as well as substance use and trauma. My best work is with individuals who have experienced significant conflict or trauma in their lives and seek to understand the impact of this experience and learn from it to enable purposeful movement forward.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Doctor of Natural and Bioenergetic Medicine, I have dedicated my career to understanding the profound dialogue between the mind and the body. In my years of clinical practice, I began to see a recurring pattern: traditional psychotherapy is powerful, but it often reaches a ceiling when the body’s "biological battery" is depleted. I realized that to truly help my clients heal from the inside out, I needed to bridge the gap between psychological processing and the body’s subtle energy systems. My approach is built on the premise that your life experiences—your joys, traumas, and daily stressors—do not just live in your memory; they live in your cells and your energetic field. By integrating my clinical LPC background with my doctoral training in bioenergetic medicine, I offer a unique, 360-degree therapeutic experience. We don't just talk about the obstacles in your life; we work to shift the underlying energetic and physiological patterns that keep those obstacles in place. Whether you are navigating the heavy fog of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the complexities of unresolved trauma, my practice is informed by a deep understanding of human bioenergetics. This allows us to look beyond surface-level symptoms to explore how your environment, your lifestyle, and your body’s unique energy pathways are impacting your emotional resilience. My mission is to guide you toward "Integrated Health"—a state where your mind is clear, your nervous system is regulated, and your spirit is fully aligned.

Hi! I am Laura and I provide a compassionate, supportive space for individuals navigating life’s challenges, trauma, or anxiety. I work with clients who want to better understand themselves, manage overwhelming emotions, and develop practical strategies for coping and growth. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s experiences. I prioritize creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore feelings at their own pace. Many of the people I work with feel stuck or uncertain about how past experiences affect their present lives. I help them build insight, self-compassion, and resilience while guiding them toward their personal goals. While my focus is on individual work, I also address the impact of relationships on well-being, helping clients navigate interpersonal challenges when they arise. I support clients in strengthening emotional awareness, identifying unhelpful patterns, and developing tools to respond to life’s stressors more effectively. I am drawn to clients who are curious about their inner world and ready to take steps toward meaningful change, even when it feels challenging. My goal is to walk alongside each client with warmth, respect, and understanding, empowering them to feel more confident in themselves and their choices. Therapy is a journey, and I’m honored to guide clients as they explore, heal, and grow. Whether you’re seeking relief from emotional distress, clarity in your experiences, or a deeper connection to yourself, I provide support that is empathetic, practical, and rooted in your unique path.

Hi, I'm Emily and I've been practicing as a therapist for the last seven years. I began my own healing work when the coping strategies I relied on, and the mask I wore to get through life, finally stopped working. Under all the pain was a desire to live more honestly and deeply, and its what eventually led me to become a therapist. This is the kind of space I now intend to hold for others.

I am a person-centered therapist providing individual therapy for adults. I have been in private practice since 2018, and my experience includes a variety of settings, including residential inpatient, and outpatient treatment. I offer a supportive and collaborative space where clients can better understand themselves, build coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change using an integrative approach that includes CBT, DBT, ACT, or EMDR.

I am human first, and because of that, I can often relate to the challenges others face. I take pride in helping people navigate difficult moments, gain clarity, and build confidence in themselves and their lives. I believe everyone has the capacity to grow, heal, and strive for their best—even during times of uncertainty or transition. My role is to walk alongside you, offer support and perspective, and help you get there at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, overthinking, OCD, performance anxiety, and depression. I work with high-functioning adults who feel stuck in their heads, overwhelmed by pressure, or impacted by past experiences. Many of my clients appear successful on the outside while struggling internally with self-doubt or emotional overwhelm. My approach is practical, supportive, and goal-focused, helping clients build confidence, emotional flexibility, and lasting change.

As a transpersonal therapist, I view therapy as a holistic healing container, in which I am a fellow traveler on the path to wholeness. My goal is to awaken the knowing that is already alive within you, guiding you to your truest self. I have been on a personal journey of self-discovery and awakening for over a decade through meditation, yoga, practicing massage therapy for 5+ years, deepening an understanding of healing through the body mind spirit connection. I arrived in the field of counseling as a culmination of my personal journey, from a desire to serve others on the path to healing and integration.

With over 15 years of professional experience, I am committed to helping others find ways to be their best. I want you to be successful. Because of that, I work hard to find out where you're stuck in life and how to help you feel better. I am licensed in Colorado and Texas. I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Adams State College in Colorado where I enjoyed living in the San Luis Valley, taking day hikes on the weekends and enjoying the majestic mountain views.

I am a Master’s-level Social Worker with specialized training in clinical counseling. My experience spans diverse populations—including individuals, families, veterans, justice‑involved clients, and residents of mental health facilities—across a wide range of treatment settings. I am a passionate, growth‑oriented therapist who uses an eclectic approach to meet clients where they are. My style is client‑centered, strengths‑based, and culturally sensitive, with a strong focus on fostering meaningful development and lasting change. I prefer conducting therapy through live video sessions, as it allows for connection, flexibility, and accessibility.

I am a dedicated therapist who believes that every individual possesses an innate, unbreakable resilience. My practice is rooted in a client-centered philosophy, meaning I view you as the expert of your own life. Together, we will tap into your internal strengths to navigate life’s challenges, fostering a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to create lasting change.

Hello! I am an LPC-MHSP in the state of TN. I am also fully licensed in both MS and CO. I have over 13+ years experience in the Mental Health field working within a variety of settings. I’ve always been deeply passionate about seeing others thrive and succeed. As my life experiences unfolded, that passion only grew stronger, shaping my desire to serve others and support them in building resilience through life's toughest challenges. I've also long been fascinated by the "why" behind human behavior, which led me to combine these two passions into a life of service-helping others step into and operate at their highest potential.

Hi! I'm Katie, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado. I enjoy working with people to overcome trauma and other challenges in life; to encourage growth, and realize their strengths.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado and Texas. I received my Masters from the University of Texas - El Paso and have been practicing for over 15 years. I believe that every person has the capacity for resilience and change. Whether you're looking to overcome specific challenges or simply seeking support, I am here to help guide you on your journey toward a more fulfilling life.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with over 10 years of experience working as a mental health therapist. I received a bachelor’s in psychology in 2006 and a master’s in clinical Mental Health from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs in 2010. I have worked with the English and Spanish speaking civilian and military population in a variety of areas, some of which are: couples counseling, family counseling, parenting, blended families, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), domestic violence, grief, communication skills, personality disorders (such as bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder), ADHD, depression, anxiety, emotional and sexual abuse, life changes, divorce, immigration, addictions, and military individual LGBTQ+ and family issues.

Hi, I’m someone who genuinely loves helping people bring their ideas to life. I believe great work starts with listening, understanding your goals, and building a partnership rooted in trust and clear communication. My approach is thoughtful, reliable, and detail-oriented — but always human first. I’m here to make the process feel easy, collaborative, and maybe even a little fun, while delivering results you can feel proud of.

I'm a first-generation Latina therapist, and that lived experience gives me a unique lens in how I show up for the people I work with. I understand the mix of cultural expectations, generational patterns, and just trying to get through everyday life. Many of my clients come in carrying anxiety, self-doubt, depression, or trauma, but also the very real, everyday stuff: relationship stress, distrust in others, feeling not good enough, not wanted, not seen. In our work together, I help you unpack those feelings and begin to challenge the negative narratives that may be shaping how you see yourself and your relationships. A big part of that work is understanding what healthy actually looks like for you, not a one-size-fits-all version, but one that honors your culture, your family, and who you are becoming. That might mean learning to set boundaries without guilt, figuring out how to honor your family while also honoring yourself, or simply getting clear on what you actually need versus what you were taught to accept. Therapy isn't about "fixing" you. It's about helping you understand where those patterns come from and supporting you in rewriting the story in a way that feels more honest and empowering. I believe healing starts from within. Empowerment isn't just about what we can do, it's about remembering who we already are. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, find your voice, and build a life that feels more grounded, more intentional, and more yours.

I am Tara, a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a solid academic foundation in Communication and Social Work. I've worked with all types of people from across the globe. My therapeutic ethos revolves around empowering individuals through life's transitions, fostering growth, and igniting personal revolutions through psychotherapy. It is incredibly important to me that each person I meet walks away feeling heard and that they are one step closer to their life goal.
