Hello. My name is Liz, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Washington. I have been practicing as a therapist since 2016. I have worked primarily with children, teenagers, and families for the past 10 years as a school-based therapist doing crisis intervention and counseling. For the past 5 years, I have also worked with adults experiencing life transitions, infertility, and grief via telehealth therapy. I utilize a client-centered, relational approach to therapy. I look forward to meeting you!
I began my career as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research on traditional medicine in Sochi, Russia. I presented my work at the United States Embassy in Moscow, highlighting cross-cultural perspectives in healthcare and integrative practice.
After completing my grant, I attended New York University (NYU). I then completed a residency at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, Texas. I went on to earn my doctorate from the University of San Diego, California, where I focused on digital telehealth treatment for psychiatric care.
I am passionate about working with Veterans and individuals experiencing Depression, Anxiety, and Mood Disorders. In 2023, I completed CIIS training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. In 2025, I was among the first providers in Colorado and in the country to become licensed as a psilocybin facilitator.
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.
I am passionate about health and wellbeing. I hope to be able to help people thrive. I work in a collaborative way with clients to identify the root of their problems, find creative solutions, and address their questions and concerns along the way. I aim to provide individualized care, not just follow a standard protocol. I have extensive experience as a diagnostician/prescriber in internal medicine, family practice, women's health, endocrine conditions, including hormone management and gender affirming care. I am passionate about mental health care and have experience providing treatment for many conditions, including mood, attention, and thought disorders. I have some experience working with children and families, and extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, and older adults.
Hello,
Welcome to recovery and to getting back into the flow. Healing and growth are possible.
I have many years of experience as a counselor.
Are you ready for something different?
I enjoy working with adult individuals and couples, supporting them through relational challenges (such as miscommunication, attachment style differences, and parenting), life transitions (including retirement and career changes, divorce, or becoming parents), struggles with anxiety and depression, and identity exploration. I have a special passion for working with women and LGBTQ+ individuals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Lacey, WA
Searching for therapists in Lacey starts with finding someone whose background fits the support you want. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, training, and therapy approach match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that may fit what you are looking for.
In a smaller city like Lacey, local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while keeping your search focused on therapists licensed in Washington. Consider practical factors like appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may be like.
Therapy in Lacey can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after adding your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
