In the first few sessions together, my goal is to understand what struggles you are currently experiencing that are causing you distress, and then provide you tools to help minimize those stressors to get to a more stabilized place. Once you are feeling more grounded and able to manage your current stressors, then I encourage the exploration of why these things are present in the first place, where they are coming from, and ultimately when they were initially learned and began. I believe that helping you uncover these important pieces of information are vital to your long-term success in becoming the best version of you possible!

Hi! I’m Tara. It’s hard finding a therapist, right? I help queer & trans folks manage anxiety, recover from religious trauma/religious harm, navigate relational and family problems, and more. I am a queer-identified, secular therapist who has also experienced religious harm. I’ve been a therapist for 20 years now and I still love it. I’m into self-compassion, and balancing boundaries with deep connection. I believe laughter is healing, tears can be restorative, and swearing can be cathartic (sometimes all in one session!). So let’s chat. Visit Taramcgrath.com for more info or IG at theagnostictherapist to get to know me.

What if both mental wellness and mental distress are experiences along a spectrum and this is part of what makes us human? You are not alone as we all travel these experiences that make up our mental health, both in times of flourishing and times of challenge. Reasons for seeking support vary, although daily distress in its subtle or obvious forms can create feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, depletion, or at times a sense of shut down. As our bodies respond to this distress it can result in feeling stuck, disconnected from self, disconnected from satisfying relationships with others, or a sense that things might never change.

If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or numbness, I’m here for you. Blaming yourself or feeling guilt or shame is no fun. These experiences are probably affecting your relationships, even the one with yourself. Your body gets bombarded with danger signals and in an attempt to cope you have learned to ignore your gut feeling and to numb the outside. Now you are noticing that this has challenged your ability to manage stressful situations, and it has led you to feel easily overwhelmed and wishing you could just shut it all off. This is what Complex PTSD can feel like when it goes untreated.

I am motivated by a belief in each individual's potential to grow from their life challenges and become empowered to access personal strengths and existing resources. I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship between the client, who is regarded as the expert on their life, and the therapist, who becomes a trusted ally in developing understanding and creating change. A potential client’s level of comfort with me, in my opinion is the most important aspect to the therapeutic relationship.

I believe a central component of the therapeutic process is the relationship that's established between the therapist and the client. A safe and trusting relationship provides an environment in which you are able to explore those unresolved issues and old patterns that are not letting you have the quality of life you would like to have. Therapy is an opportunity to identify what's not working for you, view it from different angles, and learn strategies that will result in alternate ways of relating to yourself and to others that may be more conducive to becoming the person you want to be.
