Hello and welcome. My name is Tara and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Arizona. Counseling any person, no matter where they have come from, or what challenges they are struggling with, is my passion. I enjoy helping people achieve what they desire in this life. Whether it is to have a better marriage, learn how to deal with depression, less anxiety with every new situation that arises, or parenting struggles, I can help. I love helping people to be the very best versions of themselves and giving them the tools to help with varying hurdles in life. Life can be so tough, and seeking counseling is a very brave first step and I am so grateful you came here. We all go through hills and valleys in life, but it's so much better to go through those valleys when you have the right tools in which to deal with the tough times. Life is a gift. Counseling is a gift and I hope to be able to help you with your journey. A little about me. I grew up a military kid and was able to travel the world with my family, which came with some wonderful experiences and also some challenges of having to adjust quickly to different settings. Along the way I met a lot of great people and had the opportunity to learn family dynamics, and cultures from a very young age. I am grateful to have had to change and move throughout my childhood so that I could end up in this field where I can truly help so many different kinds of people, no matter their background, or what struggles they are going through. I received my bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University. I then went on to receive my Masters degree from Argosy University in Phoenix, Arizona. My counseling approach is mindfulness training, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused brief therapy. I believe we all have the ability to get where we want to go, but sometimes we need a little help along the way.

I am a certified licensed therapist in two states with over thirty years of experience. I received my degree from Antioch University Seattle and have worked with adults in a variety of settings throughout my career. I, particularly, specialize in working with women. I employ a person-centered approach based on respect, knowledge, and empowerment. Finding the right therapist is not easy. Often times a degree or years of experience can be irrelevant as it relates to a successful therapeutic connection. I believe in a counseling session an individual needs to feel comfortable, heard, and valued by a therapist. I can offer someone these integral pieces as a therapist, as well as, genuinely caring about the individual's experiences. Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding how I work, availability, etc. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.

Hello There! I am so glad you are considering choosing BetterHelp to address your concerns. If you choose me as your therapist, I look forward to getting to know you and spending time helping you with your goals. I also want to introduce myself. I am personable, kind, accepting, and funny. I have been helping others since the age of 21. I received my doctorate in psychology in 2002 and have been a licensed psychologist since 2005. My therapy practice has primarily focused on teenagers and adults. I have worked with many issues and find that I am successful doing so with the help of clients. Further, with your permission, I will consult with others if we happen to hit a wall. I love to help others achieve goals and experience satisfaction and happiness with their lives. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes how your thoughts influence your feelings and choices. For example, if a client is unsure if they should stay in a relationship, we would explore how his/her thoughts about the relationship influence feelings (sadness, dissatisfaction) and choices (not talking to that person, returning their belongings). I then work with a client on making choices that are based on logic and truly identified desire. CBT is very effective in a fairly short amount of time and the techniques we would use are transferable to any issues you experience in the future. You would be able to utilize them by yourself if you'd like! I enjoy a relationship that is honest and appreciate feedback. The satisfaction that comes with helping others brings wonderful meaning to my life. If you choose to work with me, I believe you will find meaning and help in the experience.

I am licensed in Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and Pennsylvania with 13 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & intimacy related issues. I also have experience working with depression. I work with my clients to create an open, warm and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Hi! I'm Michelle – a 40-something cisgender heterosexual woman with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I co-own a small private practice with my husband (also a therapist), and while we don’t have human kids, we do have multiple dogs who I am over the top with as a proud "dog mom." While this isn't something typically discussed in therapy, I’m liberal-leaning in my values and have a personal faith, though I wouldn’t describe myself as traditionally religious. My Focus Areas: Grief of all kinds (people, pets, jobs, life stages, etc. ).You do not have to have lost something to death to grieve it. Depression Life transitions (divorce, career shifts, big changes) My Approach: I practice Person-Centered Therapy, which means: You set the pace—I'm here to listen, not to judge or direct. I believe you are the expert on your life, and I work alongside you with empathy and support. I honor and support those on a spiritual path—whether you’re just beginning to trust your intuition or already walking closely with it. If your healing journey includes spiritual guidance, you’ll find a safe, grounded space here. I focus on building trust, validation, and a space where you feel safe to be yourself. I was born with Spina Bifida and use a wheelchair full-time. This perspective deepens my empathy and reminds me that no two experiences are the same—even when the issues look similar on the surface. My Style: I’m laid back and authentic while remaining professional. I don’t typically assign homework or suggest reading, though I might occasionally if it feels helpful. Who I’m Not a Fit For: I’m not trained to work with active addiction or severe trauma/PTSD-related symptoms. I am not a good fit for someone who is looking for therapist who provides a lot of structure and homework assignments. A Few Things to Know: Therapy Fit Matters: If I’m not the right fit for you, that’s okay! Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. You’re welcome to unassign and continue your search—your comfort is most important. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m here if you think we’d be a good match. .

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. My years of experience comes from a variety of settings: outpatient treatment institutions, inpatient treatment institutions, and community based settings which have included one on one sessions. I utilize the following therapeutic approaches: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Strength based therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness. I have training and experiences working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger issues, and addiction. Everyone has their own narratives/perspectives and I understand it can be challenging to be vulnerable with your thoughts and emotions but the reward of validating yourself can be most healing. I am confident I can teach you to identify and validate your emotions in a healthy manner. I can help and/or be that listening ear. Change is possible when you are willing to make a commitment to the process. I challenge you to be open minded and be courageous with me....
