Getting to know Tara Waldman
I'm a licensed psychotherapist who works with adults (18-65), with a primary focus on Gen Z and millennials- including college students and workplace professionals. I specialize in improving communication skills, reducing anxiety, and navigating transitions with greater self-confidence. My clinical focus includes assertiveness training, perfectionism, identity development, and relationship support. ?
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Yeshiva University and have experience working with adolescents, adults, and couples from diverse backgrounds. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in advertising in NYC, which has given me a deep empathy for clients navigating high-pressure careers and personal reinvention.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is warm, collaborative, and encouraging. I bring humor, empathy, and lived experience into the room, creating a space where clients can feel safe exploring self-doubt while learning the tools to move forward.
My therapy style is integrative and highly personalized. I blend psychodynamic insight (identifying recurrent themes) with solution-focused interventions (actionable changes) to help clients process emotions, build assertiveness and create long-term change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session we will focus on getting to know each other, learning about your history, discussing your presenting problems, and discussing the therapy process and what to expect.

Ms. Waldman immediately put me at ease which was important because of my anxiety issues. I felt I was being heard and her compassion was genuine. Even after just my initial session, thought I was making real progress.

I have been working with Tara for a couple years now and she is AMAZING! She really makes me feel seen and heard throughout our sessions. Also she is extremely personable, and makes you feel welcomed. I couldn't recommend her enough- she truly is the best!

I almost gave up attempting therapy before I met Tara. You can tell how warm and authentic she is right off the bat. I'm naturally very withheld with my emotions, but Tara's created a safe space for patients to express vulnerability. I never felt like I could confide and feel heard/seen before this - and you can tell she doesn't come from a place of judgment. She's been so patient and such an advocate for my journey (of life) and I've grown tremendously from my experience. I couldn't recommend her enough.
