My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, dedication and authenticity. I strive to create a safe, supportive and trusting environment where my clients will feel comfortable, heard and understood; while exploring their thoughts, feelings, and most "raw" aspects of themselves. I meet each individual where they are and walk beside them on their journey to meet their personal goal(s) to ensure they do not feel alone. I believe the individual leads the sessions, determines what they want and need from each session and goal creation. It is a team effort, but one I am here to support and engage others/team if wanted/needed.

I can help by having personal and professional experience in my specialty areas, such as Autism, foster/kinship care, and FASD. I bring to the table not only research-based knowledge, training and experience, but real-life experience as well. Therefore, I can relate and/or provide support, resources and referrals to many experiencing these situations.

I follow the individual’s lead, which means I meet them where they are at. If the individual wants to get right to the deep things I am more than willing to go there with them; but if they want to get to know me and spend time building trust and rapport first, then we do that. I work with what the individual is comfortable with in every case and situation.

Asperger's Syndrome

Trauma and PTSD

I have a vast majority of skill sets; however, autism, groups, kinship care, adoption, and trauma are my specialty focus areas. I believe that behaviors are trying to tell us something and we need to get to the very root to identify the answer and create words. I work on building healthy relationships, closing gaps in communication patterns, increasing understanding and support for all involved.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, dedication and authenticity. I meet individuals where they are at the beginning of every session, which means there may be a specific style or approach to therapy that will best fit during one session and maybe not again. Therefore, I use the approach that is needed, when it is needed, to best fit the current situation, concern, or hurtle.

Groups

Bears Counseling PLLC

Hosted by

Tarah Groettum

Bears Counseling PLLC is a Private Practice owned and operated solely by Tarah Groettum. My mission is to be contracted with as many insurances as possible, to better serve as many families and individuals as possible throughout the state of MN who are needing services regarding psychoeducation, support, referrals and resources related to the autism diagnosis, adoption, kinship care or foster care. Too many families and individuals are currently on waitlists in these focus areas with minimal support, if any. My goal is to decrease these waitlists and increase support and services now.
