Are you thriving or surviving in your life? Sometimes it can be difficult to cope with life's challenges and it's difficult to communicate emotions, thoughts and feelings. I can help deal with these issues by listening without judgement and help you, your child, spouse, family member or friend cope with them on a daily basis so that you can thrive in your life. I have been working with children, adolescents, families and adult for 13 years.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with adults and adolescents battling various mental health barriers; some including: anxiety disorders, depression, alcohol/substance abuse, personality disorders, family/relationship concerns, trauma and self-esteem issues. I offer a warm, safe and supportive environment that allows individuals to discuss their concerns free of judgment.

The unfolding nature of our lives is a sacred journey and can be trusted. When we know how to listen, engage and trust the wisdom of our own lives, journeys and hearts, we become more ourselves. I view therapy as a process of learning to listen and live life more authentically, from our inner GPS, rather than from others telling us who we are, who we should be and what to think/do/etc. This process is key to life satisfaction as we become the person we were meant to be.

“Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going" (Shpancer, Ph.D.). Each of us is on a personal journey striving to be our best selves. Sometimes, these journeys can leave us feeling unequipped to navigate their rough terrain. For most, this is the human experience. While we can't escape the realities and emotions of this experience, we can certainly learn more effective ways to cope. We can find ways to be gentler, more loving, and kinder to ourselves so that we may share this with our loved ones and our community.

I am best able to assist those who struggle with competitive relationships, and feelings of being on the losing side in their interactions with those they love. I have seen couples, individuals, and entire families struggling with attempts to force one another to 'win' arguments, only to find that they never seem to go away fully. Many times, other issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders,sexual dysfunction or substance abuse becomes the main issue which families show to others the competitive nature which occurs within the family system, and are most concerned when they call for an initial session.

Hello! My name is Tara OHare. I have over 15 years' of clinical experience in the mental health field. I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families, as well as co-parenting therapy for separated and divorced parents. I treat children, adolescents, & adults.

I have extensive experience in the areas of divorce, social anxiety, self-harm ("cutting"), problems w/ communication & assertiveness, as well as issues related to remarriage & stepfamilies.

I believe that therapy is most effective when an individual recognizes the need for some kind of change in their lives. It is then the role of the therapist to join with them on their journey for personal growth. Whether the issues are due to personal relationships, mental illness, alcohol or chemical addictions, trauma, or of another nature, I will be able to assist you in setting goals, changing your thinking, and helping you to make your life better, one step at a time.

The suffering we experience is so personal we tend not to want to share it. How can we open up about something that shakes us so? How can we bring someone into our pain? Psychotherapy, as I practice, is a gentle and respectful way that you can begin to approach changing those things that burden you. I provide a safe, trusting relationship where you are able to learn to comfortably live life again.

Far too often we suffer in silence. Perhaps you feel misunderstood, or feel unable to commute what think & feel. No one knows your secret, that something is “wrong”. You try to devise a plan to feel better. Trying to prioritize your needs & make positive changes. You start reading self-help literature, or start exercising. But nothing seems to help & life starts to feel unmanageable .Getting through each day becomes a challenge. "No man is an island". Therapy can be the life line you need most during times of need. You no longer have to do this alone. You're ready to quiet the inner critic and ready to find your happiness again.
