Getting to know Tara Mackie

Hi there, I'm Tara! Greetings! My name is Tara Mackie, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Loma Linda University. I specialize in partnering with clients to navigate grief, loss, and life transitions. I provide a safe, supportive space for you to express and process intense feelings. I help you become more comfortable with difficult emotions. With my warm spirit, caring heart, and grief counseling experience, I can help you find the peace and comfort you deserve during this time. My approach As a Grief Specialist, I know that showing up for and listening to clients is key to navigating grief and loss. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space is my goal. I use Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients integrate grief, loss, and transitions into their lives in a healthy way. My focus For 10 years, I have partnered with grieving children, teens, and adults as they navigate the grief journey. I have guided them after sudden and traumatic loss, loss by suicide, and natural deaths. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety and depression due to life transitions like divorce and infertility. Pain from grief isn’t fixed; it is witnessed and heard. That is what I am trained and gifted at doing. My communication style I provide a clear understanding of what to expect from me as we work together. I offer a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment because therapy succeeds only with trust. I am committed to your well-being and work hard to ensure you know I believe in you. My journey to mental healthcare I have always shown up for others and do not shy away from witnessing pain. I became a social worker to advocate for people. Working as a medical social worker in hospice, I found my true calling in this work.
