Getting to know Tara Columbus

Hi, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Western New York, with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, which helped me discover where my heart truly lies—supporting women through life’s many transitions. Are you navigating the uncertainty of post-college life, wondering who you are outside the classroom? Have you recently started a new job and find yourself second-guessing every move? Maybe you’re a mom juggling countless responsibilities, trying your best while feeling stretched thin. Change can be overwhelming—especially when it’s accompanied by self-doubt, confusion, or shame. My passion is helping women better understand themselves, build confidence, and improve their mental health as they move through life’s inevitable shifts. My counseling style is warm, patient, and open-minded. I am trauma-informed and draw on a range of evidence-based modalities to support healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. Above all, I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to grow.
