Tara Waldman

I'm a licensed psychotherapist who works with adults (18-65), with a primary focus on Gen Z and millennials- including college students and workplace professionals. I specialize in improving communication skills, reducing anxiety, and navigating transitions with greater self-confidence. My clinical focus includes assertiveness training, perfectionism, identity development, and relationship support. ​

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Yeshiva University and have experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples from diverse backgrounds. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in advertising in NYC, which has given me a deep empathy for clients navigating high-pressure careers and personal reinvention.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and encouraging. I bring humor, empathy, and lived experience into the room, creating a space where clients can feel safe exploring self-doubt while learning the tools to move forward.

My therapy style is integrative and highly personalized. I blend psychodynamic insight (identifying recurrent themes) with solution-focused interventions (actionable changes) to help clients process emotions, build assertiveness and create long-term change.

In our first session we will focus on getting to know each other, learning about your history, discussing your presenting problems, and discussing the therapy process and what to expect.
