Getting to know Tara Norman

Hi there, I'm Tara! I specialize in empowering people with different abilities, their families, and caregivers navigating burnout, offering a space grounded in genuine warmth, gentle humor and practical tools. Whether you're seeking relief from the daily demands of caregiving or simple a place to feel understood, I'm here to walk alongside you. My focus I support clients of all ages and abilities—especially people with disabilities (different abilities) and their caregivers or family members. Whether you’re facing challenges yourself or helping a loved one, we’ll create a warm, practical space focused on your strengths so you feel more supported, capable, and hopeful every day. My approach After 32 years as a licensed social worker, I help people advocate for themselves, treat themselves kindly and create space to move forward. In our calm sessions you'll feel heard, notice your strengths and practice self- compassion. I walk beside you so you leave more grounded and hopeful. My communication style My communication style is warm, clear, and collaborative. I listen carefully, reflect what I hear so you feel truly understood, and check in often to make sure we’re moving at a pace that feels right for you. I keep language straightforward and practical so our conversations stay useful and supportive. My journey to mental healthcare After my MSW I supported high-risk teens at CPS. I earned a master’s in special education and became an academic therapist for special-needs clients. Ten years at summer camp creating art and supporting well-being followed. Caring for my parents sparked a passion for caregivers, returning me to social work for people with disabilities and families. My goals for you I help you reach your goals by breaking them into clear, manageable steps and creating practical strategies that work in everyday life.
