Life Coaching Therapists in Massachusetts

Entering this field a bit later in life, it was not without gaining, and continuing to gain, multiple perspectives associated with trials stemming from family of origin, marital, trauma, secondary trauma, relationship, parenting-to raise/parenting-to-prepare, job-related, adoption/reunification, loss, life transition and elder care issues. I know life's journey to be replete with challenges. I also know it to be rich, adventurous, rewarding. I've learned obstacles are more easily negotiated with support and that becoming our own agent of change is not as elusive as it may often seem.

I am seasoned professional with over 12 years of experience whose style is collaborative/ solutions focused while using the structure of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you examine the way you think + behave. While working with me, you will gain a better understanding of yourself, and whats get get in the way for you. I work with women (especially mothers) who are on the brink of burnout while also continuing to be high functioning professionals. My client often compare themselves to other women who appear 'less stressed', wanting this for themselves too. I HELP women create peace so that you feel in control of your life.

My practice focuses mainly on life issues -- from family and relationships to career and work/ life balance. I help clients overcome depression, cope with AD/HD and other internal barriers to fulfillment and success, and find practical solutions to life problems and so they can become their best selves.

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.

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.

Do you want to find a way to accomplish important life goals? Are you dealing with overwhelming anxiety? Are you interested in finding natural ways to improve your mood? If so, I may be able to help. Therapy can help us to process life events, family dynamics, and personal identity. Therapy teaches us techniques to overcome symptoms and feel better. It can help us to focus on what is in our control and make small steps toward recovery. Life coaching can help to break down big goals into smaller attainable steps and lead to follow through. Through life coaching you can improve health, career, relationships, family, and home.

Are you feeling anxious, stressed, lost, and looking for direction? You are not alone; however, there is help. I have seen many clients that suffered from the same issues including anxiety, stress, PTSD, phobias, and lack of direction. Here is an example of the clients that have benefited from my services: "I had for the first time something called neuro linguistic programming (NLP). Can I say my mind is blown away with the results. She worked on 3 traumatic experiences that happened in my lifetime." Maria 7-11-20

I have worked as a therapist for over 35 years, and I am trained in the principles and practices for transformation. I also created Thriving Families, a unique family coaching program for parents who feel overwhelmed frustrated, or hopeless regarding their family. I support them in healing where needed, and then help them to create both an individual and a family vision. Children and teens are invited to do the same.

The majority of my clients seek balance, clarity, and self-care and are facing normative life transitions or unexpected challenges across the lifespan. Typical challenges include stress, friendships, family relationships, body image and self-esteem, anxiety/depression, as well as transitions across college/grad school in young adulthood; career goals; and milestones such as marriage, divorce, pregnancy, parenting; or other health challenges that may require counseling or coaching, mind-body strategies and goal-directed wellness plans.

My ideal client is a male of any age interested in changing patterns keeping him stuck in his life, someone ready to do the tough work of honest self-assessment as preparation for meaningful change. My approach is strengths-based and solutions-focused with a goal of mobilizing clients to imagine and then pursue positive and exciting change. I have extensive experience working with gifted people and elite performers across different industries, both as a teacher and a clinician.

We're more anxious right now than ever, trying to navigate everything that is happening in our lives and our world. It's easy to get out of balance, especially during this difficult time. It's hard to navigate our own lives and now we have other worries, many that feel beyond our control. Drawing on my experience and training in existential philosophy and contemporary psychodynamic therapy...a compassionate rigorous insistence on taking responsibility for oneself, we’ll try to make sense of all this, navigating habits and patterns you keep falling back on; finding connections to the things you feel are most important in your life.

Adolescence and young adulthood are a complex seasons to navigate. It can be difficult to manage the many social, academic, and societal expectations, while also grappling with and discovering who you are and who you want to become. As a counselor and coach, I walk alongside teenagers, college-aged women and young professionals, serving as a guide and a support, as they explore what it means to live an authentic life. Together we work toward developing the skills they need to lean into and embrace a life filled with joy, contentment, and deep meaningful connection.

My life’s work is focused on shining the light upon psychological influences that bind us to the past and affect our present life situations in a patterned, repetitive and unconscious ways. I will help you to develop a deeper understanding of your internal conflicts, which will have a positive effect on your overall state-of-mind, mood, emotions, and ultimately your future.

I am dedicated to helping and encouraging my clients to identify issues/obstacles and work towards applying this knowledge to find solutions and relief. Whether it be anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, sleep problems, stress or just feeling overwhelmed with life, I will listen to and collaborate with you to determine an effective therapeutic path.
