Tara has provided me with the most eye opening and valuable, psycho-education I’ve ever received from a mental health professional.
She has helped me identify things I always questioned about myself, and has truly made a huge positive impact in my life and I am super grateful! Happy to have been matched with such a smart, empathetic and supportive psychiatrist! Thank you!
