More about me

Licensing: MA, LCPC Years in Practice: 20 State: Illinois

Hello. My name is Tara and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have over 20 years experience working in the mental health field, child welfare and mediating child custody. I have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, schools, jails, community mental health, and private practice. I have enjoyed working with diverse groups of people and settings. Because of those opportunities, I have experience in many common challenges individuals face during various life stages.

I strive to make the individuals feel welcome and safe, providing an atmosphere where a person feels they can share anything that is on their heart and mind. In addition, I believe in treating individuals with respect, compassion and understanding.

Individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting challenges, relationship issues, and adoption issues are near and dear to my heart but I also enjoy working with individuals on other topics too.

My treatment style is eclectic, as there is some overlap on the various therapy approaches. I often utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered, holistic, and solution focused approaches to treatment. I will custom tailor my approach to the style that best meets your needs. There are times when we all just need someone to speak with to help clarify the issues and work towards a solution.

If you are ready to take the next step, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey to achieving your goals with encouragement and support. I look forward to working with you!

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.

She’s been my therapist for a few years now. She understands, and always listens. I couldn’t imagine a different person to talk to!

Overall

Tara is very kind, and always listens. After talking to a few counselors before her I never clicked with them. Tara makes you feel welcome, supports you, makes you think of things in different ways. She’s always very responsive and respectful. I would recommend her to anyone!

Overall

After speaking with a few other counselors, I feel as if Tara is the most easiest person to talk to. She’s always there to listen, and makes me feel understood. With the others I didn’t “click” with them, but with her I definitely did. I would recommend her to anyone looking to talk to someone. Tara was there for me in many difficult seasons of life, and without her I’d probably be in a totally different mental state. She’s the one person I can talk to that doesn’t push opinions or feelings, and encourages me to to dive deeper to figure out what my own feelings are, and so much more on how I can improve myself.

Recommend Tara so much. I’ve tried different therapists before and never felt comfortable with one or like they try to help me with my problems. Tara takes the time to understand and listen.

Tara was amazing to work with. She was understanding of the issues I was trying to work through and had extremely helpful feedback to help guide me forward. She was quick to respond to my messages, and had great availability to meet in person (online). Thank you for the help.
