Getting to know Tara Tobin

Hello, my name is Tara Rhiannon Tobin, and I go by my middle name, Rhiannon. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and have been providing therapy since 2005. I earned my Master?s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loyola Marymount University and completed my Bachelor?s degree at Goucher College. I utilize a person-centered approach and invite clients to share their thoughts about what is most comfortable and beneficial to their therapy experience and focus for each session. If preferred, I am also ready to use my intuition to guide the therapeutic process. My approach I use a combination of therapeutic orientations such as CBT, Solution-Focused, and a person-centered approach. I also incorporate mindfulness techniques and positive psychology. My focus I work with clients to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I started working primarily with children, teens, and families, and more recently, I have focused on teens, young adults, adults, and couples. My communication style I strive to create a comfortable, welcoming, and informative experience. My hope is to support clients in feeling they can share any thoughts, concerns, or wants so I can better assist them in obtaining the help they seek. My journey to mental healthcare Therapy can feel like a relief?to have someone and the space to talk about all the unique things in your life and struggles. Psychology has always fascinated me, and my interest in art and self-expression led me to a graduate program combining Marriage and Family Therapy with Art Therapy. This was an amazing way to learn how to be a therapist and facilitate the therapeutic journey for others. Recognizing how challenging life can be has continuously driven my desire to help and support others.
