Tara Smith

I guide my work with compassion, understanding, curiosity, and the knowledge that every individual I work with has unique needs. Our sessions can range from deep emotional exploration to at times laughing together. I bring authenticity into the therapy space and the knowledge that our relationship with one another is essential to the work. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, school difficulties, family issues, and relationship distress.

My approach combines psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and person-centered techniques to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique goals and needs. I use my clinical expertise to work with you in each session to empower you to understand yourself more fully, process painful emotions, connect with your body, strengthen your relationships and highlight your strengths.

Together, we'll work to deepen your self-understanding, improve your relationships, and strengthen your ability to evolve into the person you aspire to be. Whether you're seeking concrete solutions or broader personal growth, I'm here to guide you through the process.

Change is possible, and I'm committed to helping you achieve it. Let's take this journey of self-discovery and transformation together.
