Welcome! I am Dr. Tara Ross-Barksdale. I am a registered supervisor and Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with nearly 11 years of licensed experience and over 20 years supporting individuals with mental health challenges. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Liberty University and a Doctoral degree in Human Services from Walden University. As an active member of the Virginia Counselors Association (VCA), I bring experience from diverse settings, including community mental health, residential treatment, corrections, and private practice, working with individuals, couples, and families.
In our sessions, we will work together to identify your goals and explore effective strategies tailored to your needs. My approach is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy, focusing on practical steps for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and anger to improve your daily life and relationships
If you feel overwhelmed with stress, anxiety, or depression that negatively affects the way you live, work, or relate to others, I am here to help you regain control and relief. Visit my website to easily book a free 15-minute consultation — let us start creating positive change today!
