Life Coaching Therapists in Southampton, MA

Tarn was adopted and raised in Southern Vermont on a farm. She has always loved helping others so the decision to become a therapist came easy. 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.

*I am not able to accept new clients at this time.* By listening deeply, providing insight, coaching and support we collaborate to move past self-defeating patterns that interfere with your living well. As a seasoned psychotherapist and life coach with 30 years experience I believe in each person's singular life path and inherent capacity to heal and grow. Drawing on mindfulness and body-based wisdom we focus your strengths to transform fear into hope, confusion into direction. I work well with people who are stuck emotionally in themselves or in their relationships; people who have experienced trauma; people desiring change.

As an experienced psychologist, healthcare team leader, Buddhist, life guide, husband and father, I have a broad perspective on how to live a happy, ethical life. Our lives are replete with both pleasant and unpleasant experiences. We will experience both whether we want to or not. Living our lives with compassion, gratitude, friendliness, and equanimity, we can set ourselves free from suffering. While unpleasant experiences are inevitable, suffering is optional. To live our lives gracefully—in spite of everything—is attainable. Love yourself. Spirituality is a key component on the path to happiness and joy.

I support people to transform life's challenges into a mosaic of internal wisdom. I passionately embrace the power of loving relationships to help shift from feeling burdened by past wounds to compassionate self-acceptance. I facilitate secure attachment and fulfilling relationships. My natural empathy offers a safe space to heal emotional wounds, ruptured relationships, limiting behaviors, non-supporting beliefs, attachment injuries, trauma, loss, grief. In Internal Family Systems (IFS), we access our Core/Wise Self (intrinsic wholeness) - compassion, confidence, calm, creativity, courage, curiosity, connection. In deep Self-attunement, we gently invite wounded internal parts to come forth and heal.

I am a certified pain coach trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, the Curable curriculum on pain neuroscience, Emotional Awareness & Expression Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Health & Wellness Coaching, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. I teach clients evidence-based tools emerging from cutting-edge pain neuroscience so that they can learn to calm their own nervous systems, and subsequently, their own pain. I know firsthand the profound healing power of mindbody medicine: after decades disempowered by pain, I got my life back, only better. I am here to help empower others so they too can reclaim lives of meaning & joy.

Somatic Parts and Attachment therapy and Buddhist Contemplative Psychology: Are you struggling with feeling trust in yourself, trust in others and the world? Do you long to feel connected to your inner child; embodied, peaceful, creative, and securely attached to others and to nature? Are you seeking to address adverse childhood experiences, trauma, and the stresses of our changing world, through somatic, embodied, creative contemplation rather than talk therapy? I offer 15 years of experience in embodied contemplative counseling, as well as creative activism for personal growth and empowerment.

We all have wounds to heal. Trauma is universal and each person has their own unique journey of healing and reintegration. Having learned this universal truth, I have chosen empathy, openness, and heart-centered care as key elements of my approach as a therapist and life coach.

Coming back from the pandemic has been both wonderful and immobilizing at times. There's things to do, but the motivation just isn't there. Relationships have changed at work & home. Let's face it, the summers' apocalyptic weather created an atmosphere of hopelessness & downright fear. Meg views your spirituality as a valid, timeless, and powerful resource to address your psychological and behavioral issues. Blending ancient wisdom, healing energy and a pragmatic down to earth treatment plan we can set up the conditions that will make you successful. We can start with the basics of self -care and build from there.

There's nothing I enjoy more than helping people move forward in life. "Moving forward" takes on different definitions as we proceed through life, but the bottom line is that everyone gets "stuck" at times. Maybe it's a dead end job, or the boyfriend/girlfriend that hasn't stepped up, or maybe it's more than that. Maybe you don't feel the happiness that you once did and you want it back. Whatever "it" is, it is my privilege as a therapist to help you figure it all out. It is my experience that a person-centered approach (treatment is based on YOUR individual needs and who you are), can lead to life-changing results.

Hi there! I am a High Performance Coach who helps people ditch limiting beliefs & negative patterns so they can fully embody their potential & bring their biggest visions to life. In short, I'll help you reach your goals and move through any roadblocks along the way. There are three steps to creating lasting change: 1. Self Awareness, 2. Acceptance, 3. Aligned Action. Most methodologies create change by moving straight from awareness to change on a behavioral level. But this is missing the most powerful step: acceptance. Once we fully accept every part of ourselves, only then can we execute change externally & more powerfully.

As a Mental Health Therapist, my goal is to support you in your journey by offering you a space to talk through worries or behaviors that are impeding your ability to live the life you wish to live.
