Therapists in Ashburnham, MA

I am a clinical social worker with many years of experience in trauma, loss, and adoption. I treat symptoms of depression, anxiety, and grief. I help people learn healthy coping skills and let go of patterns that no longer serve them. The pandemic has been hard on us and increased feelings of isolation and depression. Coming to therapy can be hard. I provide a non-judgmental space to work through grief and trauma.

I serve children, adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families in the following areas: Teen Issues, Peer Pressure, Self Esteem, Parent/Child or Family Issues, Self-Harming Behaviors , Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Physical, Sexual, Emotional Abuse, Dual Diagnoses, Stress Management, Anger Management, and Adjustment Disorders.

Hello Everyone! Thank you for checking out my page. I have had many years of working with different populations, and have enjoyed learning new people, cultures, and different types of people. I always try to meet the person where they are at, and try to give them the most support and treatment as I can working collaboratively together.

I enjoy working with all ages. Over the last 20 years I have worked with children,tweens,adolescents,adults,couples and their families. Creating a therapeutic environment, which is safe,non-judgemental and caring, is one of my main goals. Every individual has a unique set of circumstances. This requires a personalized intervention to create the changes needed to gain the insight to better understand themselves and others. Once becoming empowered with the skills to feel confident about themselves and their environment they soon find life becomes more managable and easier to navigate through.

She first attended Community College in Vermont before continuing on to earn a BA in Sociology from Smith College in Northampton, MA. Tarn then attended the Smith College School for Social Work where she earned a Masters in Social Work (MSW). She has since worked in a variety of positions throughout her career which have assisted her in becoming an eclectic therapist with a wealth of knowledge in several facets of social work and life.

Some people struggle for weeks, months, or even years before considering psychotherapy. And it makes sense — it's hard to confide in a stranger and can take a while to find the right fit. We want authenticity and experience in a therapist but also someone relatable and easy to talk with. When couples counseling, family therapy, or child/adolescent support is needed, the search may seem even more daunting. We need a clinician with the interpersonal skills, temperament, and adaptability to forge a meaningful connection with our partners, children, and the networks who support them.

I have been a therapist for 10+ years and I'm licensed in both MA and FL. I’m especially passionate about serving clients in the faith community although it is certainly not a requirement to treatment. In particular, I have a special heart for those navigating anxiety and/or depression. I also enjoy providing therapy to clients experiencing life transitions and navigating relational challenges.
