Tara Core

Psychotherapist
129 Kings Hwy North, Building 29, Westport, CT
Life is full of transitions-some expected, others sudden-and each brings its own set of challenges. As a therapist specializing in relationships and major life changes, I provide a supportive space to help individuals and couples navigate the complexities of parenthood, career shifts, divorce, and other significant milestones. I have a deep passion for working with those experiencing Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), postpartum struggles, and the emotional shifts of menopause. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fairfield University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each person's unique journey.

Life is full of transitions-some expected, others sudden-and each brings its own set of challenges. As a therapist specializing in relationships and major life changes, I provide a supportive space to help individuals and couples navigate the complexities of parenthood, career shifts, divorce, and other significant milestones.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe every individual’s story is unique, and I approach each person with curiosity, warmth, and empathy to create a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and healing. Drawing from my own life experiences, I strive to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to the healing process. By fostering trust, open communication, compassion, empathy—and sometimes a touch of humor—we can create the foundation needed to support meaningful growth and change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness, grounded in a values-driven framework. Together, we'll work collaboratively to explore your authentic self, set meaningful goals, and create lasting cognitive and behavioral change. Throughout our journey, we'll consistently revisit your core values to ensure that the choices you make and the progress you achieve align with your deeper sense of purpose.
