Carolyn Tatar, LMFT

Carolyn Tatar, LMFT

Psychologist
IL
I help clients work on their relationships-with partners, parents, children, coworkers, friends, and the many other connections that make up our rich and complex lives. Good relationships are built by individuals willing to work on both their connections and themselves. Anxiety, negative thoughts, and lack of vulnerability can be barriers to becoming our best selves and strengthening our relationships. Whether working with couples or individuals, I strive to help clients understand their strengths and identify goals and outcomes to address the issues holding them back. When clients face difficult transitions-break-ups, health challenges, parenthood, or starting a new job-I support them in developing strategies and tools within a safe, supportive environment. My approach is to help you become comfortable in your own skin and feel safe expressing problems and concerns without fear of judgment. I draw from a variety of therapeutic models such as CBT, ACT, IST, and psychodynamic therapy to provide a customized approach that helps you reach your goals. With empathy, humor, and candor, I help you gain insight and equip you with the tools to overcome your struggles. I am passionate about assisting individuals, couples, and families in achieving personal and systemic change. Using an integrative, strength-based, client-centered approach, I implement solution-focused interventions to attain treatment goals. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University. Prior to becoming a therapist, I had a successful career in business, where I developed skills that I now use to help clients navigate workplace conflicts, create strategies for success, and foster a positive work-life balance.
