Getting to know Tara Joshi
Tara Joshi is a licensed clinical social worker who recieved her Masters of Science in Social Work from Columbia School of Social Work and her BA in Psychology from Simon Fraser University.
Most recently, she served at the Mount Sinai Health System as an inpatient psychiatric social worker, providing care to some of the city’s most vulnerable and high-risk populations. She is deeply committed to mental health education, with a particular focus on educating youth and reducing the stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental illness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing with deeper exploration of personal values, identity, and meaning. I also incorporate philosophical reflection to help clients better understand themselves and examine long-standing patterns and beliefs.
With my training in social work, I recognize how social systems, culture, politics, and economic stressors can shape mental health and emotional well-being. I strive to provide a collaborative, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients can build insight, resilience, practical coping tools, and a stronger sense of agency while creating a life more aligned with their values and goals.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our group, Willow Health, provides short term, virtual care for individuals in mental health crises. As a therapist, I work collaboratively with our team of psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, care managers, and certified peers to create personalized care plans. We also have a nursing after hours line to help with crises that occur after hours. (This will not be with your regular care team).
Our services are short term in nature, lasting between 8-12 weeks depending on your needs. This means that at the end of your time with us, we’ll make sure you’re connected to ongoing care and support to continue your recovery outside of Willow Health.
Getting started is simple. You can schedule an initial assessment as soon as today virtually, from the comfort of your home. Your first meeting will last about 90 minutes. You’ll talk with me and a psychiatrist or psychiatric NP who will help design a treatment plan that works for you. Depending on your needs, your care may include medication management, therapy (including specialized support for thoughts of self harm) and care management. Additionally you’ll have the option to participate in recovery coaching, which includes working with a peer recovery coach, someone who has lived experience with mental health and/or substance use, and who will support you through your recovery journey.
