I’m Dr. Tara Miskovich. My therapeutic approach is primarily cognitive-behavioral that integrates mindfulness and acceptance and commitment-based approaches. Additionally, I incorporate humanistic elements that fundamentally holds that each individual has inherent worth and value. In therapy, we explore the ways internal and external factors have impacted your mental health and strive towards achieving your tailored treatment goals.

I've been in private practice for over 26 years in the San Francisco Bay Area working with individuals ,couples and families seeking support for trauma, life transitions, and development. Whatever stimulus propels an individual to seek support, can be an opportunity for each person to engage more fully in their life. The therapeutic process is an organic one that involves a mutual exploration between myself and clients with the client's needs and purpose informing the process. What may seem an obstacle may be an opening when viewed from a different perspective with another,to make a difference in one's mental health.

I am a Geropsychologist which means I specialize with older adults. I provide forensic neuropsychological evaluations to assist with decision making capacity for the following domains: medical/financial consent, sexual consent, testamentary consent, driving, independent living. Evaluations/therapy also assist with diagnoses for dementia, depression, anxiety, and/or grief/loss. I work with family members/caregivers caring for those with dementia and perhaps behavioral challenges associated with the dementia. I currently work at the San Francisco VA Health Care System (SFVAHCS) for the Department of Geropsychiatry since 2007.

Individual Psychotherapy and Co-Parenting Solutions. I am a clinical psychologist, affiliated with A Step Forward, a group private practice. I have over thirty years of experience working with individuals, children, adolescents and families, who are struggling with such concerns as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, divorce, relational conflict, emotional trauma, or more severe mental illness. My practice also includes 740 and 3111 child custody evaluations.

We cannot get through life without difficult times. None of us can. Whether it's a family conflict, career predicament, or personal trauma we are going to experience them. And, yet, how we handle them can make all the difference in our future and the future of those we love. I have been doing psychotherapy for a long time, both with individuals and with couples, and hope I have developed an ability to help manage these life situations. I work with people in both short-term crisis situations and longer-term therapy contexts, from their teens to their nineties.

I work with young and middle aged adults experiencing anxiety, dread, depression, self-criticism, doubt, or symptoms of complex trauma. When these feelings are acute it can feel unbearable and all we want is some relief. I help hold this suffering and provide ways to soothe this pain. Once it has become more bearable we can ask the question of what may be asking for your attention inside (e.g. a part of your personality or vitality that has been blocked, a past trauma, etc.). I have a deep trust in the therapy process supported by my own experiences in therapy and through witnessing the healing in people I have worked with.

Dr. Jennifer White-Baughan is a clinical psychologist with 27 years of experience specializing in the treatment of trauma, depression and anxiety in children, adolescents, and adults. My clients have said that I am a master therapist who creates a context of safety for clients to learn new skills and to explore patterns of self limiting beliefs while calling on the clients own resilience. Words used to describe Dr. White-Baughan are wise, deeply loving and spiritually expansive.

I assume you're here because you're struggling in some way, and that whatever you've been doing in your life to deal with your pain simply isn't working any longer. So you've hit a kind of impasse, and you're unable to work around the pain, manage it, ignore it. My clients usually find me through some kind of loss--a divorce or relationship upset, an illness or other transitional experience--often accompanied by difficult feelings and behaviors. Taken together, the result is a crisis of meaning and a radical disruption of the status quo of their lives.

Are you having challenges that rob you of the joy and success you deserve? Are you as happy as you want to be? Is your life working out the way you want & expected it to? We all cope with stressors in different ways. I help people deal with stress more successfully with caring, + the powerful tools that therapy provides, to achieve results & solutions.Therapy isn't only for people with problems, who are depressed or anxious.

Therapy is a collaborative process; together treatment is individualized to best fit each unique situation and person. I draw on strengths and support others in building internal and external resources.

For women, men, and couples midlife and long term infertility are life stages that can be filled with grief, confusion, transition and lack of control. My clients come to me saying, “I’m not who I used to be, and I’m not sure who I am now. Don't know how we can move forward.” I am passionate about people in their 40’s and 50’s because I believe that a “third act” is lying just ahead. It’s a stage in life that can be fulfilling, exciting and meaningful. It just doesn't always feel that way.

How do you respond to life's challenges? For 26 years, licensed in private practice, I collaboratively join in the process of listening to your stories and dreams, discovering openings for honoring your authentic Self. If work necessitates travel, we use confidential internet platforms for treatment. I'm informed by Jungian analysis, Control Mastery, Mindfulness and DBT. I address addictive disorders, emotional traumas, and help re-enliven blocked creativity. I'm a past clinical supervisor and Certified Continuing Education Provider in Jungian Dreamwork, Guided Imagery and "Using movies for illuminating Psychological Issues".

I am not the type of therapist that sits in a chair and nods silently at everything you say. My approach is warm, direct and healing on multi-levels. Depending on each individual case we can explore talking your story, expanding your breath, expressing ranges of emotion or moving your body. I consider my work and the space I hold as sacred. There are many doorways into the experience of freedom and together we can find the one that fits your Self.

I work with individuals who often have achieved considerable success, but who nonetheless are unhappy. Typically, they suffer from childhood adversity, usually family based, oftentimes because of childhood losses, family illnesses, or dificulties with parents or siblings. I give importance to listening carefully to my clients' concerns, and working with them to build a trusting relationship which is essential if I am going to be helpful to individuals who are hoping to overcome the difficulties that cause them to seek assistance. It is common for my clients to seek help when they struggling either with work or relationship problems.

I've been practicing psychology in Sausalito for over 20 years. The people with whom I work are normally functioning individuals who come in to explore issues that represent some ongoing disruptive pattern in their lives. Together, we actively engage in discourse intended to stimulate meaningful insights and reflections; as we consider possible changes that may help them to lead more genuine and integrated lives.

I would like to tell potential clients that my style is interactive, that I am a good listener, and that most people improve if they are committed to changing. I am particularly good at treating grief and trauma. Patients have come in with multiple losses, have seen their loved ones hurt, injured or murdered, or have themselves been raped, or assaulted and have turned their lives around. Many clients cannot get over a loss of a husband, wife, or lover and have been able to move forward. I value a partnership. I value an open heart and emotional expression.

Hello welcome to my practice. I believe a trusting, supportive relationship helps you focus on whatever you are choosing to work through.

I have a warm, collaborative approach wherein you and I work together to assess how you are affected by certain core beliefs, and then begin to think about what's in your best interest.

You are struggling with challenges affecting your relationships, work and family life. Complex, yet common, issues around love, family, purpose in life, and doing what truly makes you happy have become an overwhelming "white elephant" stampede and are making you feel depressed and anxious and confused. Despite trying to "fix" the problems, they don't go away, and you seek clarification and forward movement to get yourself back on track.
