Hi and welcome! My name is Tara McClain, MA, LPC and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the great state of New Jersey. I believe in living life in a joyous way, and aim to work with my clients to help them find satisfaction and fulfillment in their lives as well. The relationships I develop with clients are most important. I want you to know that you are understood and feel supported during the counseling process. I know that starting counseling can be a big step, and I am here to provide a caring, nonjudgmental ear while helping you reach your goals.
Do you want me to just listen while you talk things out? Do you want to leave each session with a specific plan of action? Do you need help solving certain problems or making decisions? The treatment modalities I use depend on you and your counseling goals. I most often utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Narrative and Client-Focused Therapies.
Treatment with me is very much a collaborative effort, and we will make decisions together so you can feel and be your best.
I have been practicing in a private setting for the past 3 years. I am passionate about my profession, and am excited to meet and learn about how I can assist and support you in this journey!

Tara is the best! I have been in and out of therapy for 40 years, and she is one of the best I’ve ever worked with on my mental health. She is a ray of sunshine; yet very serious about dealing with my problems and leading me towards my goals. I highly recommend Tara and betterhelp classes to tackle all your mental health woes.

Tara has been an amazing therapist! I went through a few therapists until I found her and am so glad I did. Tara really cares, listens, and offers good advice and guidance. Tara is very present and responsive in between and during sessions. I've enjoyed working with Tara and feel like she really understands me and has taken the time to get to know me. Highly recommend Tara as a therapist for anyone!
