The best!!! She's helped me through so much.

Written on Nov 05, 2023 after therapy with Tara for 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and grief

I’m so glad i got matched with Dr T. After a bad first experience with another therapist i was about to give up, but she encouraged me to give it another go and i’m so glad i did! Building a therapeutic alliance with Dr T has been super rewarding, and although the work is hard, i’m glad i’m doing this for myself. Dr T will come in clutch with statements that blow everything wide open and she’s exactly what i need in my life now.

Dr. T is an incredible therapist. She creates a safe, engaging space where I feel safe to share my thoughts and experiences.

She regularly holds me accountable for my actions and helps me to foster more healthy thought processes.

Through working with her, I have been able to meet myself where I am currently in my mental and emotional states, but also feel motivated in setting achievable goals for being a healthier and more present version of myself.

I am very grateful to have Dr T in my life, and hope to continue working with her.

Thanks for being the best, Dr T!

I’ve only had one video session so far and lots of texting. Dr Harvey is very supportive and empathetic. I look forward to more sessions and to my healing.
