Great to meet you!

I’m Tara Garland, and I will connect with you to work through and support you on any struggles or challenges you are going through—helping you turn them into healing and strength. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors who may be managing anger, anxiety, depression, family issues, grief, and loss. I also support clients experiencing trauma, stress management challenges, sleep or panic disorders, OCD, ADD/ADHD, relationship or identity issues, and women’s issues. My goal is to help you find balance, relief, and the confidence to move forward in your life.

My approach to therapy

I am warm and direct at the same time. I’m driven by your goals and the solutions you want to achieve. The great thing about therapy is that it’s unique to each individual—no two people are alike, and your path toward healing shouldn’t be either. I use a solution-oriented and empowering approach to help you uncover your strengths, learn practical tools, and take steps that create real change. Together, we’ll work toward building clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a safe space where you’ll be heard and supported. I’ll be here to give you a virtual shoulder to cry on, helpful tools, and encouragement along the way—but you have to be ready to do the work. I have a lot of knowledge and expertise, but no magic wand. Change takes effort and consistency, and I’ll be here to cheer you on, challenge you when needed, and walk beside you as you grow and heal.
