When life gives you challenges the process of managing those challenges can be real difficult. Having someone to process and find solutions to real life issues can be helpful and supportive.

When I meet a client it is important to meet them where they are and develop a strong therapeutic relationship.

My name is Dr. Tarra Bates-Duford has engaged in extensive work and research on familial relationships, trauma, & dysfunctions. I have a PhD in Forensic Psychology & Masters in Marriage & Family Therapy & a Masters in Psychology. I have extensive experience with traumatic experience & symptom re-emergence. With nearly 20 years in the field of behavioral sciences, she has been instrumental with stabilizing families, helping individuals & families navigate the challenges of mental illness, as well as victims of abuse/ trauma, reprocess the memory of the trauma in a manner that no longer paralyzes nor interferes with daily functioning.

When relief from our distress can't come quickly enough, it can feel uncomfortable to reach out to someone you don't know for help. Whether you are a sleep-deprived new parent, navigating a loss in your relationships or goals, or pivoting from life's changes, it's tempting to push ourselves to muddle through on our own. Many times this leads us to being harder on ourselves than we deserve, and we are left feeling even more tired, stressed, or burned out. You deserve a space for you to just "be"... to breathe, feel, examine, heal, and experience authentic, judgment-free support.
