Getting to know Atara Parkinson

Hello! If you are looking for a greater sense of freedom, joy, and to get the "spark" back in your life, I am ready to walk with you on that journey! I'm interested in what it’s like to be YOU. I believe when you tell your story and listen to how both your mind and body respond, you will be able to move towards healing. My name is Atara, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University. I am currently seeing clients all over the state of California virtually. I specialize in clients looking to work on developing a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection. I love to support clients in creating a sustainable vision. The goal in my work is to empower clients to gain clarity and obtain holistic balance in mind, body, and soul. I believe that a strong therapeutic connection is vital, and progress can be limited when a client doesn’t feel understood. My aim is to align with my clients in a strong therapeutic alliance.

What should a new client know about working with you?

"Sessions with clients are almost always client led and client focused. My belief is clients generally know what they need, and I get to assist in lighting the path. I work with a present focus while going into the past in order to examine current beliefs and to move into the future with confidence. Seeking therapy requires bravery. I am always inspired meeting new clients and can't wait to be on this adventure with you! Our work together might require ongoing sessions, but alternatively, it could look like doing just a few sessions, ending with a self-guided protocol to help you continue your own healing journey; either way, I love to empower clients in how to heal both their body and mind. ""You heal you,” and I will joyfully coach, educate, and cheer as you accomplish your goals. "

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
