Getting to know Tara Jubanowsky
I received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Social Psychology from Lehigh University in 2003 and graduated from Columbia University in 2007 with a Master of Science in Social Work.
I recently transitioned from medical social work to clinical counseling. I specialize in health/illness, medical education, medical trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, disability, grief/bereavement, and loss.
I am a thoughtful, sensitive, empathic, and hard-working clinician who genuinely cares and strives to make a difference in the well-being of each of my patients. My professional approach involves mutual respect, collaboration, active listening, and a nonbiased perspective. I have a reputation for being hard-working, thorough, detail-oriented, and sensitive.
My passion is working with children and families impacted by medical issues and chronic pain. I have extensive experience working in hospital settings providing a range of supportive services to patients diagnosed with acute and chronic medical conditions. I worked as a medical social worker for pediatric leukemia and lymphoma patients at Columbia Presbyterian, Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital from 2007 to 2012. I continued in oncology as a senior social worker at NYU Langone Medical Center from 2014 to 2018, working with a multidisciplinary team in an outpatient clinic for adults treated in gynecologic oncology, neuro-oncology, breast oncology, medical oncology, and hematology (malignant and non-malignant blood disorders). I also provided counseling to patients ambivalent about prophylactic surgeries, such as hysterectomies, to prevent cancer.
From 2019 to 2023, I worked at Atrium Health Children's Hospital as a pediatric bone marrow transplant and cellular therapies social worker. Patients were typically admitted for six weeks to six months and diagnosed with cancers, genetic mutations, sickle cell disease, and blood disorders.
What should a new client know about working with you?
After the first session, the patient should feel heard, respected, and taken seriously.The patient should feel a bit of relief and a sense of hope that circumstances will improve by working together. However, if the patient does not feel a connection or believes that we are not a great match, they must let me know so that we can discuss alternative support options. Additionally, the patient should understand that it might take several sessions or more until talking feels natural and they feel fully comfortable.Finally, if I do not believe I am the best clinician to address their situation after meeting for several sessions, I will refer them to another clinician with a specialty that more closely aligns with their circumstances.

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.
