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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
