Welcome! I'm here to support you as you navigate life’s challenges and transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, or a major life change, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can be fully seen and heard. You might feel stuck, but the change you're seeking is possible, and the power to create it is within you. I’m not here to fix you, because you are not broken. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, confidence, and a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. It is my honor to walk alongside you on this journey.

The world can be an unsafe place at times, posing many challenges for all of us. Looking for help to navigate life stressors can be difficult when you might already be experiencing grief, isolation, and anxiety. It can be easy to feel lost, disconnected, and even helpless. I provide a warm-hearted safe space and am confident in treating many psychological concerns. My goal in therapy is to help you find solutions to your problems and illuminate resources already available to you. I am especially helpful in areas of life transition, trauma, and grief and loss. You don’t have to do this alone.

I am a Licensed Therapist in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Difficult experiences in life can bring up feelings of anxiety, depression, or lack of direction; it can be hard to know what to do. With compassion and honesty, I will help you to work through issues while identifying your areas of concern pointing at your inner strengths, and helping you to be a happier and healthier version of yourself. When clients are focused on exploring their feelings, they are empowered to face any obstacle in their lives and rewrite their own stories.

We all need therapy at certain times in our lives. Good therapy will help you master the problems you are struggling with. You must feel your therapist understands your goals and can help you achieve them. I believe that people are strongly motivated to master their problems. Most people suffer from false self-blame and self-criticism. I have committed my practice to helping patients to overcoming their guilt, shame & anxiety.

I work with individuals wishing to explore and improve their lives. At times we all have painful and confusing events we need to process and overcome. I have many years of expierence with Adults, Couples, Families and Children. Through the theraputic relationship and skill development, change evolves. I treat anxiety, depression, relaionship issues, parenting concerns as well as individual issues about where one is in your life now,

I work with kids, teens/young adults, families, parents (including perinatal and early child/parenthood), and systems to nurture emotional and systemic wellbeing. I also enjoy work with folks in helping professions, especially educators.

Do you feel like your needs don't matter or have trouble identifying what they might be? Do you feel stuck in states of self-judgement or guilt? Do you feel numb or disconnected, or overwhelmed by the stressors of daily life? I believe that it is absolutely possible to transform your relationship with yourself and others, and to move through the world with a greater sense of ease and belonging. Together we'll start with building a sense of safety and connection, then gently explore the old patterns and obstacles that hold you back from your full aliveness.

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.

Thank you for considering my profile. I am licensed both as a Mental Health Counseler and a Marriage and Family Therapist. A guiding belief in my work is an unconditional regard for the individual value of each person. I have a variety of training (Pyschodynamic, cognitive behavioral, relational EFT, EMDR etc.)and use an ecelectic approach. I have been working with children and their families in a varity of settings, for almost 30 years. I have extensive experience working with a variety of diagnosis. I also have a bachelor degree in working with Young Children with Special Needs.

Sorry, I'm not accepting new clients right now. At some point in life many of us could benefit from the support of a trained therapist. I specialize in helping people manage their mental health symptoms holistically. My work aims to improve negative mental health symptoms and their impacts on social, academic, professional and physical issues. I help people to closely consider how their thoughts and behavior patterns are affecting their relationships, short term and long term life goals. We work together to make adjustments in order to better manage and even eliminate symptoms.

There are a lot of ways to practice therapy. One crucial aspect of any "good" therapy is that it helps you expand your curiosity and open-mindedness about yourself - who you have been, who you are, and who you would like to be. Towards this aim, I listen with a commitment to my own openness, mindful of our shared humanity. As a clinical social worker and psychoanalyst, I see folks with a range of concerns from diverse cultural backgrounds. I work relationally and think contextually, knowing our social worlds are integral to who we are.

We’ve all lost our way at some point in life, whether due to a traumatic event, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions. In facing these challenges, I believe it is possible for you step into your most authentic self. Fundamental to my work is the belief that healing happens in the context of healthy and reciprocal relationships, whether that is relationship with yourself, others around you, and/or your environment. I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that centers consent, agency, and autonomy where all identities and experiences are welcome.

I’m a white, cis, queer, fat femme clinical social worker from a working class background licensed in Massachusetts (LICSW) and Pennsylvania (LCSW). I recently relocated to western MA from Philly, where I began my practice. My areas of clinical interest include: queer and trans identities; issues surrounding sex and sexuality; fat liberation/body positivity; gender-based violence; ambiguous loss and complex grief; anxiety and depression; trauma; attachment and alternative family structures. I work from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive framework with attention to how identities and larger systems intersect.

We are committed to providing affirming, trauma informed care within a therapeutic environment that supports the development of a strong therapeutic relationship. The safety and strength clients draw from that solid dynamic allows them the freedom to examine and embrace their most authentic self. We strive to empower you to be an active participant in your healing process and discover growth edges to develop more adaptive and effective coping mechanisms for life stressors. We facilitate symptom relief that enables you to form healthier relationships with yourself and others.

Are you a therapist, teacher, student, change agent, or first responder feeling the weight of burnout, trauma, or ADHD? Does the work you once loved now fill you with dread? I’m here to help you reconnect with your passion, heal, and rediscover your unique voice. In these challenging times, your well-being is crucial. With my extensive experience as a trauma professional, career coach, and supervisor, I am dedicated to supporting those who help others. Let’s work together to ensure you thrive and continue making a difference. You are needed now more than ever, and it's time to prioritize your own care.

I have a special interest in working with individuals navigating life transitions such as college, graduate school, career stress, sexuality and gender identity/expression, parenting, relationships, substance use and disordered eating. I specialize in women’s health issues, including pregnancy, postpartum, adoption and parenting. I have extensive experience working in community health with children and adults with complex medical needs, teen parents, and pregnant and postpartum individuals with substance use disorders.

Suffering results from our disconnection from our self, our bodies, friends, families and world and the Divine. This may manifest as anxiety, depression or other difficulties depending on an individual's in-born biology and life experiences. I work collaboratively with each individual according to their needs and desires. I am most interested in facilitating lasting change at the deepest level.
