Society has viewed addiction as a weakness that you are powerless over or a defect of character only impacting those from lower socioeconomic status. The reality is that addiction doesn't discriminate! The TARA Clinic helps busy and successful people to regain control over substance use and addiction while leaving the guilt and shame behind, because we believe that everyone deserves to find the freedom they truly crave.

I am a strong believer that everybody could benefit from therapy at a point in their life. Life is, by definition, challenging, unexpected, complex. At times, life can get really hard too. Therapy is the chance to get the support we could all use in those harder times. It can last for as little or as long as you need, and it can get as deep as you allow it to. Therapy is your chance to get your own space, and to do what you want with it.

I have worked with individuals and couples for over thirty years, helping them negotiate the struggles of life in this time of quick change, uncertainty and significant social pressure. Relationships are the first victims when people become anxious or challenged in their lives. Yet I believe relationships are the core to good mental health and personal development. These issues are relevant to people of all ages, and not specific to gender, race or religion. The presenting symptom could be grief, anxiety, depression, arguments, irritability or any form of dysfunctional behaviour - the underlying issue has to be addressed.

As a psychologist and a writer, I see the stories in every person I meet - the good, the bad, and everything in between. There is, I believe, an unparalleled power in facilitating my clients' authorship of their life stories, and in the way they can make meaning of every formative event that has happened to them. It's a breathtaking mosaic, and I count myself privileged to facilitate the turning of the pages, the writing of new chapters, and the creation of a life narrative that makes meaning of an individual's past, present, and future.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in 2026 specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs.

Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
