Hi, I'm Tara I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Boise, Idaho and have worked with clients across the state via telehealth. I work with adults using a person centered eclectic style and use evidence based techniques. My approach allows for colaboration and understanding between me and the client alowing us to take steps on the path toward better mental health.
My approach
My approach to therapy is a strength based, person centered, ecectic style using evidence based techniques. These techniques include; person centered therapy (PCT), trauma-focused, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems informed (IFS), mindfulness, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), motivational interviewing (MI) and attachment-based methods.
My focus
I have found my approach is good for adults that are that are dealing with chalenges such as anxiety, stress management, depression, anger, mood disorders, relationship and communication skills, self-exploration, personal growth, grief, life transitions and substance use addiction.
My communication style
My communication style is calm and thoughtful. I strive to create a trusting, comfortalbe environment where your unique experiences are honored and valued and you feel supported.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always loved helping and serving people and I love being a therapist. I do this work becuse I believe everyone has the potential to make changes in their life that can move them toward being healthier, happier and feeling fulfilled.
My goals for you
Goal setting starts by building understanding and trust. I want to get to know your expectations for therapy and then work together to come up with a plan to reach your goals.
My first session with you
In our first session I want to get to know you and start to build a connection. There will be conversation but there is also a lot of information gathering. I will also ask questions about mental health symptoms and how you have been functioning in life. Informaiton gathering helps me get a clear picture of your history and what is curently going on so we can decide how to move forward.
