“Tara is an engaging positive therapist who easily builds rapport with her clients. I have found her to be very openminded to alternative lifestyles, LGBTQIA topics, sexual exploration and other unique situations. Her questions about sensitive topics feel genuinely honest and curious without judgement. As a mom, I also feel Tara is very supportive and understanding of the challenges of long distance parenting.”

“I was hesitant to start seeing a therapist, but as soon as I met Tara I knew this was the right thing to do. She makes me feel comfortable in every session, no fear of judgement or embarrassment, and it feels like I’m talking to a friend I’ve known my whole life. She has helped me work through a lot of personal issues and fears, and supported me through big changes and successes. Because of her guidance, I have even encouraged family and friends to start their “therapy journeys” as well!”

Getting to know Tara Cummiskey
Welcome!
Whatever has prompted you to search for a therapist, I am honored to be by your side during this journey. We, as humans, are meant to be connected. I believe we live in a detached society that hinders us from connecting to others and ourselves. I am here to help you find your way back to your authentic self. In my practice, I hold a safe space for you to process your unique story. Having experienced my own challenges and pain, and sitting with others in theirs, I come from a place of empathy and unconditional positive regard.
I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Touro University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively. Together, we will develop new tools and skills to help you find healing and empowerment. I can’t wait to meet you and begin this challenging, but well worthwhile journey!
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti, Philosopher
What should a new client know about working with you?
As your therapist, I am committed to creating an inclusive space where you are welcome exactly as you are. I do this with compassion and empathy by listening deeply to what is most important to you. Through therapy, I am dedicated to providing a space where you are met with warmth, authenticity, and acceptance. I create an environment where you will feel truly seen and heard.

In-network insurances
Tara Cummiskey, LMFT has 100+ in-network plans.
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.

Empathetic approach is positive

i find my sessions with tara to fly by so quickly it’s surprising as someone who has struggled to open up and be vulnerable with mental health professionals in the past. she is able to refocus me and point me in the right direction when i get off topic which I desperately needed in a therapist. She is deeply empathetic without being overly emotional or making you pitied during your sessions. I recommend her to anyone who struggles with trauma or other serious issues or conditions. I am so glad I found her. ??
