Tara is strength based in her approach and draws on several theoretical orientations, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment theory, narrative therapy and solution focused approaches. You can expect Tara to be both straightforward and gentle in her approach. She will tailor her therapeutic processes to your specific needs.
