I am so glad you found me. My name is Tara and I am licensed in Florida with 15 years of professional work experience in the mental health field. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, patterns of addiction, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and authentic environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment with emphasis on tools to make the changes you so desire . Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! What's even better is establishing a connection with another human, that is the cure to many of our heartaches. Healing starts here.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.
