Dr. Robert Schuller once said, “tough times don’t last, but tough people do.” These days are indeed tough, and I believe we all have within ourselves the ability to rise above our struggles, but sometimes we might just need a little help or BetterHelp. Having traveled a painful journey myself, I understand the lonely road and want to share my skills and understanding.
I’ve been helping adults and children on their journey for over 13 years, having received my Bachelor of Science in psychology from Brigham Young University-Idaho, with an Emphasis in Communication and Art, and my Master of Science in Counseling from Northwest Nazarene University, with an emphasis in Play Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and school counseling.
I love being a creative counselor, and I'm always looking for ways to think outside the box to help bring insight and healing. I am a positive-focused counselor; I believe in having core values and working towards those values while acknowledging barriers that might get in the way. I also love teaching from John Gottman in relationships and Love and Logic in parenting.
I am a fierce mama of two boys and a devoted daughter of great parents on earth and in heaven. I love religion in all its forms and take particular joy in the study of world religions. I am, however, only a specialist in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I also love nature and the woods, rocks (I’m a rock-hounder), cats and dogs, and the spicy food of the world. I also kinda speak french.
I practice self-care by responding to messages during work hours (weekdays).

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tara Chowriamah. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She’s always so great with listening and providing constructive feedback and advice.
