Getting to know Tara Steinke
Hello, I'm Tara...
I received my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University with an emphasis on trauma studies. I'm a member of AASECT with the goal of becoming an AASECT certified sex therapist in the near future. I love working with clients who are struggling with career and life transitions, anxiety, grief and loss, stress management and relationship concerns.
Prior to my work as a therapist, I worked for years in the entertainment industry with various film, TV and music artists. I love to work with creative types and understand the challenges many face working in that industry.
I'm also a 500-hour RYT certified yoga and meditation teacher. I like to incorporate somatic and mindfulness exercises into my work with individuals and groups. I also have a background working as a sexual assault advocate and bring a strong passion and skill set for working with individuals with sexual trauma histories. I'm based in Los Angeles. When I'm not working, I can be found with my Chihuahua (Homer), hiking, reading, watching film & TV and working on creative writing projects.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a collaborative therapist who works with clients in a directive, calm and empathetic manner. I help clients to explore how their symptoms or "problem(s)" are impacting their overall wellness as well as understanding what strengths and resources a client has going into therapy. The goal of therapy is to break down those problematic narratives while helping clients to access or connect with their own internal resilience. I take a bio-psycho-social approach in which I focus on how the mind-body is connected to client's experiences and will offer somatic interventions as part of the therapy. I also work with clients to explore their values and goals and how their behavioral choices can move them closer to a life of meaning and purpose.
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.

Tara is the 3rd or 5th therapist that I have ever had. I feel within the short time I have been with Tara I have made more improvements within my life than I ever have with any other therapist. She's open minded, always gives solutions and create an environment where I feel safe, but also challenged to push through my trauma. Tara has truly been a great support person and pillar in my life. Thank you
