“She knows how to listen and to relate to the topic so it can be understood from different angles. Having Tara to turn to at the appointments has helped me grow as a person and helped my relationships as I see the mistakes I'm making and how to correct them.”

“I could go on and on, but it would only let me click on 2! She’s easy to talk to nonjudgmental and remembers most of the wacky details of my life! She’s been instrumental and helping me stay sane since the death of my mother. This is my first online experience with therapy and I’m glad I took the chance!”

Getting to know Tara Gallagher

I have been providing outpatient therapy to individuals, couples, and families since 2019; prior to that, I worked as an intensive in-home counselor and ABA therapist for ten years while I obtained my master's degree and completed my residency. As much as I enjoy seeing my clients in person, I have strengthened my ability to provide therapy virtually, applying various resources and maintaining a strong rapport through my non-judgmental and open-minded approach. I have an extensive background in working with people who have a history of trauma as well as those struggling with grief. I have a strong cognitive behavioral background, but also employ facets of mindfulness, reality, developmental psychology, and family systems approaches as appropriate to meet the needs of my clients. I strive to understand your unique worldview and adapt my approach to best address your particular circumstances. I absolutely love the work that I do; empowering my clients to achieve wellness and balance in their lives fulfills me in a way no other career path could. I am just as comfortable having a relaxed conversation about your issues and concerns as I am reviewing psycho-educational materials and assigning homework, if that's what you prefer!

What should a new client know about working with you?

If I have done my job well, I hope you leave our first session feeling heard, understood, and safe. Building trust and rapport with you through the therapeutic relationship is my primary and ongoing objective so that I can best support you in achieving your personal and professional goals.

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.
