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 believe change happens in relationship and that everyone has the potential to heal. I have built my practice working primarily with young adults/adults who wish to engage in a longer term therapeutic alliance with the goal of gaining insight into relational patterns in order to achieve more satisfying relationships at home and work. My style is relational. When working with adolescents and young adults, I make an effort to include parents and caregivers in the treatment process by providing psycho-education, family sessions as needed, as well as appropriate referrals for family members.

I offer holistic & evidenced-based psychotherapy services informed by Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Together we would help you build a more authentic relationship to yourself by cultivating greater self-acceptance and self-compassion. In freeing yourself of inner conflicts, you can shed symptoms/psychological suffering and embrace a fuller life that is more in touch with your personal values. To help build a healing relationship with you, I will carefully consider your social/cultural background and how it has shaped both your strengths and struggles.

I work best with people who are willing to be curious about the critical and the fearful inner voices and also the brave and the compassionate voices. My clients come in with the goal of wanting to feel less anxious and less depressed and more secure in their relationships with others. We work in therapy on how to relate to yourself and others differently.

I like to work relationally, which means that we, together, work on whatever challenges present themselves for you at this time in your life. It is my belief that each of us holds the answers to our own life challenges within ourselves. Therapy can create a supportive framework that can help clear debris from life's path so that one can see one's path more clearly. Adult life is often connected to our history, and the culture/environments we grew up in. Therapy can be a place to understand the threads between past and present. I often work with folks who are becoming parents. This phase is complex and can stir the silt of our story.

I am a therapist of color with 10+ years of experience as a Smith College Counseling Services staff therapist where I treat traditional-age students, Ada Comstock Scholars and graduate students and supervise MSW interns. My experience includes work in a community mental health outpatient clinic and as a crisis clinician in the Northampton area. I also provide clinical consultation to Smith School for Social Work masters students during the summer. I’m LGBTQ allied and an advocate for social justice. My practice is trauma-informed with person in environment and relational theoretical perspectives.

I am a queer, pre-licensed professional. In sessions, I combine academic, lived, and clinical experiences to create a client-focused therapeutic environment based on collaboration and community. My training has centered on working with queer and trans adolescents and young adults, as well as partnership work, including monogamous, ENM, and poly relationship constellations. In my clinical work, I believe in the strength of authenticity, connection, warmth, and empathy. I primarily draw on narrative, dialogic, and relational approaches in my work. Anti-oppression, social justice, and intersectional feminist lenses are also central.

Psychotherapy is incredibly helpful not just in managing mental health diagnoses such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, etc., but it is also a powerful support in navigating the ways in which we can all get stuck in undesired and unhealthy patterns in our lives and relationships. My goal is that your experience of therapy is one in which you feel deeply heard and understood, challenged in healthy ways, and safe and comfortable to explore a wide range of thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a neutral and non-judgmental setting.

Are you hoping to practice clear and effective communication with others about your wants, needs, or boundaries? Are you thinking about breaking a pattern or stopping a behavior that no longer serves you? Are you searching for a supportive, collaborative space to reflect on your past, to stay grounded in the present, or to explore what you want for your future?

I work with adults, couples, families, and adolescents on a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, poor self image, relationship issues, trauma, and eating disorders. My approach is engaged and interactive, directly focusing on the difficulties that you are facing. Reconnecting with your true self and healing and strengthening your relationships are key elements of our work together. I am a caring and attentive listener and dedicate myself to helping you achieve optimal contentment and peace of mind. My therapeutic approach includes aspects of cognitive therapy, DBT, mindfulness and Buddhist psychology, narrative therapy, and somatic therapy.

I have been working as a therapist since 1997. As a marriage and family therapist, I work with couples, families, as well as individuals.

By cultivating the qualities of Self in my work with you, we'll open pathways to your health - moving beyond depression, anxiety, trauma - transforming old patterns you realize are no longer effective. Your true strengths emerge. bringing creativity and natural solutions to problems. Being open-minded to your unique and diverse ways of living, thinking and being, we explore the journey toward safe and positive ways of relating to yourself and others.

For young children, behavior is a way to communicate needs. When complex emotions arise through challenging behaviors, parents may be left feeling unsure how to respond. Does your child seem overly anxious? Are they highly distressed when separated from you or more withdrawn than you'd expect? Maybe they've experienced a traumatic or scary event, a significant loss, or you’d like to prepare them for a family life change. Are you an adoptive or foster family wanting help with bonding and building secure attachment? Do you hope to gain clearer insight into your child’s needs and support them through a stressful time?

Are you looking for an open-minded, non-judgmental therapist to help you address problems, build confidence, and get to know yourself? Are you struggling with life, relationships, creative pursuits, or coming to terms with your past? Seeking therapy requires courage, and it is with respect, curiosity and dedication that I approach this work.

I’m a licensed psychologist who helps adults of all identities to feel more secure in themselves, satisfied in their relationships, and resilient through uncertainty, change and loss. I specialize in helping: a) those who feel anxious, sensitive, misunderstood, or emotionally overwhelmed to increase comfort with themselves, their feelings and needs, and others; b) individuals/couples/families to develop healthier attachments and change hurtful relational patterns; and c) aspiring and current parents throughout the complex family planning & adjustment process, including grief and loss.

I view all aspects of human sexuality as normal. I believe there is no wrong way to have a body. I view gender as a spectrum. I believe that neurodiversity makes the world a richer place. I view pleasure as a human right.

I am a pre-licensed professional who will be working under the supervision of Shannon Sennott at the Center for Psychotherapy and Social Justice. I work with clients from all walks of life, and especially love working with those who are embarking on a new chapter in life, whether it be examining relationships, starting a family, exploring their identity and values, or starting to unpack their past.
