Find a Licensed Online Therapist in Trenton, NJ

Hi! I'm Tara. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey. I have been working in the mental health industry for ten years. I have experience working with a variety of different settings (home, office, residential, telehealth), ages, and issues. I have worked with individuals across the life-span (3-70+). Some of my clinical work includes working with men in a dual-diagnosis residential program for substance abuse/addiction and mental health. During my time at the residential program, I led groups and conducted individual/family-based counseling for our residents. I was also responsible for supporting the family members of our residents. I have experience working with motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and working with individuals in recovery as well as their family members. I believe addiction is a family disease and am comfortable working with all whom are affected. I also have extensive experience working with anxiety, panic disorders, depression, and other mental health challenges. I have experience working with intellectual/developmental disabilities (including individuals with autism), trauma, and self-harm. However, I am not limited to these areas. I have worked with at-risk children, teens, and their families in their home environment. However, there have been many moments where I work with parents individually or with the family unit as a whole. While some of my specializations including working with children, I am able to work with parents to help better support their children, or the daily struggles of parenting that may be negatively impacting your mental health. My approach is very flexible and adaptable based on the needs of my clients. I use an eclectic approach when working with my clients. I use a variety of different approaches including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered. No matter what you are going through, there is no problem too big or small. I am so happy you are here, and I look forward to working together on the path toward healing!

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals... compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared community."(Brene Brown) I truly believe that this philosophy represents my framework for conducting effective and rewarding therapy. Providing a supportive and safe space for the process of healing to occur is of the utmost importance to me as a psychotherapist. My goal is to help my clients integrate their experiences in order to feel more at peace in their lives. I foster a non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic environment to assist clients to focus on issues such as grief/loss, couple relationships, work stress, addictions, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My approach to psychotherapy is client-centered and honors the relationship between the psychological and the sacred. I utilize various methods including cognitive-behavioral strategies, psychodynamics, mind/body connections through mindfulness practices and imagery, motivational interviewing and couple/family dynamics. As an LMFT, LCSW and LCADC, my approaches to therapy reflect over 46 years of working with clients, as well as university teaching, and post-graduate training. My work is informed as well by my own life cycle experiences with relationships, balancing personal life and work, as well as with life's inevitable setbacks and losses. I work collaboratively with my clients, helping you to function optimally "out there." Together we will work towards restoring your sense of well-being, and revitalizing your journey forward.
