Therapists in Hauppauge, NY

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'm experienced in treating a multitude of mental, emotional, and behavioral problems, which include anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma, addiction, & adjustment disorders.

Does your past haunt the person you want to be in your relationships? Do you often feel anxiety takes over your relationships? Do you find you are unable to communicate, as you always try to find the "right thing to say"?

What do you think of therapy? Does it intimidate you? In your thoughts, do you think the therapist is an out of touch, stodgy, judgmental person prying into sensitive topics or boring you with monotone lectures? Could therapy actually be fun? Or something you look forward to? What if therapy didn’t have to be scary or always serious but a time you set aside for yourself which you actually enjoy?

I have over five years experience working with disenfranchised individuals and their families. I believe in the inherent worth of the person regardless of their past. I specialize in client issues related to pregnancy/perinatal/postpartum care, criminal and family legal issues (including dealing with loved ones in incarceration), and mixed family dynamics.

When you can't always control what is happening, you can learn to control the way you respond. Being kind to your mind is to learn to accept and manage emotions. You deserve a safe space to flourish and prioritize your well-being. I can provide that for you!

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, nightmares or hypervigilance? Unsure of how to manage your life, school, job, relationships? Are there life stressors that worry you and make it hard to sleep, relax and enjoy your life? Have you had a significant loss or struggle to cope with and manage relationships? My honesty and compassion will help you focus on relieving the symptoms you are experiencing using various modalities to help you lead your life in a manageable way. A person centered approach puts you in control and the support and hope you receive will make life easier.

I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples and adolescents. Clients describe me as being compassionate and non judgmental which helps to create a safe space to explore even the most difficult topics. I use several different modalities including mindfulness, positive psychology, and transpersonal theory. I believe in a mind body and spirit connection. Therapy is about supporting you in getting beneath the layers of habit, addiction, stress and obsessive thinking and help you recognize the essential self within rather than relying only on the mind, which is often the source of negativity.

Therapy should not only focus on relieving your symptoms and distress but is also about building greater capacities for dealing with life's inevitable stresses and anxieties. I believe it is important to actively collaborate with you to find out what it is you want from therapy and to periodically evaluate the progress toward these goals. I look to tailor each person's therapy to their specific presenting problems and goals so that they will be able to feel better and feel more capable in facing life's challenges.

The first step to getting help is thinking about it- so be proud of yourself because you are already a step closer to your goals! My goal throughout the therapeutic process is provide support to my clients as they discover their capabilities. I aim to create a safe and welcoming environment to explore your thoughts and challenge yourself along your healing journey.
