Tara has an energetic laugh that puts clients at ease and enjoys playfully incorporating her love of sarcasm into her work with her clients. She has been known to lovingly call people out on their “bologna” when she hears it and is a great accountability partner. Tara is also incredibly empathetic and provides a warm and safe environment and a quiet listening ear when the situation calls for it. Noticing and reading nonverbal communication and body language is a skill Tara possesses in spades so she often learns a lot even from things that go unsaid. Tara is judgement free and she encourages you to be genuine and authentic.

I have extensive experience working with individuals who are experiencing crisis as a result of life changes and mood disorders, i.e. depression, anxiety and loss. My goal is to treat individuals, couples and parents in a supportive environment where personal responsibility and active decision making are encouraged. I am also a Divorce Mediator and Certified Grief Recovery Therapist. I believe my experience in these areas also contribute to the knowledge base I have regarding life transitions.

I understand that therapy may be a big step for many and emotions may even be a bit scary. That’s why I make it my responsibility to create a safe and trusting, collaborative environment. I want the people that I work with to feel comfortable sharing their stories while also not shying away from exploring the scary parts as well. I like to approach these issues using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). This approach highlights compassion and mindfulness to help individuals accept their emotions without judgment, notice and disengage with unhelpful thoughts, and learn to commit to their values by confronting avoidance.

Currently Accepting new virtual clients! At Hart Integrated Wellness Services, PLLC, we have a team of experienced and compassionate mental health professionals who are dedicated to helping you achieve optimal emotional health. We believe in a holistic approach to therapy and work with you to identify and address the root causes of your mental health concerns.

Are you seeking a deeper understanding of self? Are you feeling overwhelmed or burnt out? Do you have a hard time feeling grounded or saying no? I am passionate about holding a healing space for highly sensitive, people-pleasers to find confidence & inner peace. Through exploring your past and building a deeper mind-body connection we can overcome self-doubt, patterned relationship issues, anxiety and the pressure to overachieve. If interested, we can also use tarot, symbolism and dream work to deepen our understanding & intuition. I would feel an immense amount of gratitude to walk alongside you & support you through this journey.

When anxiety, grief, depression and intense emotions take over, we can have a hard time forming real connections with our loved ones around us. Regardless of what has happened in your life or what has contributed to how you feel right now, my goal is to provide a safe space to explore and process your experience.

Symptoms often emerge as adaptive mechanisms and solutions to address events and emotions. This is particularly applicable to survivors of trauma, encompassing physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as other experiences involving loss and grief. These symptoms can shift from being solutions to becoming the very problems clients aim to address in therapy in pursuit of relief. In addition to imparting new coping strategies designed to alleviate these symptoms, when applicable, clients are also supported in addressing the underlying issues that gave rise to the development of these symptoms.

"Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional" ~Old Buddhist saying~ Pain is a part of life but it does not have to rule your life. Suffering is not a part of life. We do it to ourselves by allowing our pain to take over our lives. We may try to cope by ignoring, rejecting or holding onto our pain by addictive behaviors (e.g. drugs, obsessive thinking about the past and ourselves). Thus, we only cause ourselves more pain and suffering. You don't have to sit alone with your pain and suffer. I am here for You. I work with clients of all ages impacted from grief, trauma, PTSD, addictions, dysfunctional, toxic relationships.

I work with couples who are struggling to repair and renew their relationship. Your relationship is fragile and just not working. Together, we will identify the obstacles that keep getting in the way! Listening without judgment and sharing without criticism are necessary skills that promote communication and set a new course. You will leave with the tools you need to enjoy a beautiful new relationship!

Your story matters. While experiences and relationships can be challenging, at Valor Counseling Center, we recognize hardships both big and small can begin to build quickly. Over time, if untreated, these unwanted symptoms can affect every area of your life and limit you in many ways. At Valor, we hope to provide you with preventative care, an empathetic place to process, and encouragement for the future as you navigate healing and growth.

Are you struggling with how to navigate through the highs and lows of life? Struggling to find a calming balance and stronger mind-body connection? Trying to "fit in" and feeling isolated? Enduring difficult times often removes us from a sense of who we are or want to be. Our identities get lost as we transition through developmental stages and relationships come and go. I have a passion for supporting teens and young adults dealing with the complexities of life transitions, interpersonal effectiveness, unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety and emotion regulation.

I specialize in adult, adolescent and child therapy. My focus is to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where you can express yourself in the freeway. My goal is to identify the problem that you need help with and develop a plan to achieve this goal. My professional experience includes working at a wide range of mental health settings such as outpatient mental health agencies, high schools, community colleges, and government agencies. I am fluent in Ukrainian and Russian languages.

My ideal client is someone who is not perfect or doing their best, but someone who is experiencing a difficult time in their life and is willing and motivated. Motivated in the sense of taking the necessary steps to work through any difficulties that you are experiencing. Experiencing depression or anxiety or difficulties with work or anything else, let's work through the issues together.

I strive to assist my clients in reaching their full potential by helping them to develop positive self esteem and strong coping skills, and to have healthy relationships, personally and professionally. Whether you are struggling with life's everyday challenges, or more serious trauma, we can work together to provide you with the tools you need to be happy and healthy. I provide a comfortable, judgment free environment. Please contact me to discuss your therapeutic needs and together we can develop a plan for how you can reach your goals!

I'm Denise, an experienced therapist welcoming new clients. I've worked with individuals grappling with profound anxiety that affects their ability to tackle everyday tasks, such as getting out of bed, leaving the house, interacting with loved ones, or working towards their educational and career goals. I've also supported those facing the weight of depression, navigating isolation and intrusive thoughts. My hope is to be a guiding hand through these challenges, whether they're emerging or in crisis, helping you rediscover a sense of purpose, hope, and resilience.

Your child has been having a hard time with “big feelings” and “big behaviors”. You have spent hours searching to find ways to help your young child have less intense meltdowns and tantrums, or to help your grade schooler better handle transitions or unexpected change, or to help your tween worry less about “adult things” and things they can’t control. It has been extremely difficult seeing your child struggle and you really wish you could just make it all stop, but you’re out of ideas. I know that the process of finding a counselor for your child can be exhausting and intimidating, but you don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Are you feeling stuck and not experiencing joy and peace? My heart is to come alongside those seeking freedom from any type of bondage.
