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.
My focus is on helping members of the LGBTQ+ community. Many of my clients are trans or nonbinary. I have a special interest in helping folks who are recovering from the adverse effects of religion. As someone who is both EXvangelical and a queer survivor of purity culture, I have a perspective that my clients often appreciate.
I am here, ready to meet you, and I want to help. I know it can be anxiety-provoking to take that next step. AND you’ll be so glad you did. Please reach out today. Even if I am not the right fit for you, I can possibly connect you with someone who is. Call, email, or you can book a free consult directly on my website, taramcgrath.com.
