I don’t usually write reviews but I think it’s really important when it comes to mental health to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. I am so grateful to have Tara as my therapist, she does not apply a one size fits all approach to therapy, and for those of us who have been to therapy before or have complex issues, her individualized therapy techniques provide a lot of reassurance, comfort and make you feel truly heard and understood. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a therapist who can really help you process the things you’re struggling with and work with you to move forward.

More about me
Licensing: LCSW, CCTP Years in Practice: 15 State: Illinois
I received my Bachelor degree in Social Work from Quincy University in 2000. I received my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Illinois in 2005, with an emphasis on community mental health. I am also credentialed as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.
I am a trauma-informed therapist. I use a person-centered approach, and tailor my interventions to each individual based on their goals, preferences, and needs. I am trained in evidenced-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (CPT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also have training and experience in treating veteran populations who struggle with re-entry and various trauma-related problems, including posttraumatic stress. I have special interest in the treatment of posttraumatic stress and other trauma-related issues. I also have experience and interest in the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, adjustment problems, and some personality disorders.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
