Getting to know Taresa Spade
Hi there, I'm Taresa!
Aloha! My name is Taresa Spade, LCSW. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Montana and am a private practice therapist licensed in Hawaii, California, Washington, Montana, and Minnesota. I bring a down-to-earth and practical approach to therapy—one that embraces real-world solutions while attending to deeper healing, exploration, and empowerment. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable and understood, where our conversations are relatable and engaging. I focus on healing and resolving stress and anxiety-based issues, trauma (emotional, psychological, physical, sexual, financial), major life changes, loss and grief (due to death, divorce, break-up, estrangement, circumstantial change, loss of dreams and hopes, etc.), caregiver support, chronic illness, terminal illness, adult ADHD, and parental estrangement.
My approach
In therapy, I emphasize effectiveness and practicality by focusing on easy-to-implement actionable steps and real-life solutions. Our conversations center on your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and experiences to build a dynamic plan directly applicable to your daily life. I also value and incorporate your unique perspective, cultural background, and the power of your belief system into our work together. All of my work is rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, Adaptive Info Processing, Attachment, Internal Family Systems, Compassion Focused, Grief, and Trauma therapies. I put intentional effort toward neurofunctional learning, as this is a rapidly advancing field with major applications in therapy. I am also well versed in many belief and religious systems due to personal interests and life experiences.
My focus
I typically work with individual adults (18 and up).
My communication style
My communication style is characterized by reflective and relatable discussions with an aim to demystify the therapeutic process.
