Tara Coleman

Hi, I'm Tara, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and served in the United States Coast Guard before earning my Master of Social Work degree from the University of New Hampshire in 2017.

Over the years, I have worked as a residential therapist and group facilitator, an outpatient therapist, and a school social worker.

My areas of focus include anxiety, ADHD, stress management, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. I specialize in supporting teens, first responders, and individuals navigating complex transitions, whether it’s adjusting to adulthood, coping with career or relationship changes, or stress and burnout.

My approach to therapy is authentic, supportive, and collaborative. I work from a strengths-based perspective, focusing on helping clients build insight, develop effective coping strategies, and navigate life with greater confidence and clarity.

I draw from various therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic and Relational, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy, tailoring my approach to each individual.

I aim to create a space that’s rooted in trust, compassion, and authenticity. Clients are encouraged to reflect, grow, and take meaningful steps forward. I work to foster self-awareness and insight, helping clients gain a deeper understanding of their thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns. My goal is that after a session, the client leaves with greater insight, practical tools, and a renewed sense of direction.
