Such a good therapist!!! I have been seeing her for about a month now and we are really getting to the root of some issues. She is so attentive and has made me feel so comfortable speaking with her. I have already recommended her to two other people. After a year of searching for the right therapist, I feel like I have found the perfect match.

Tarra got rid of any worry or uncertainty I had of her when I was deciding on recieving a therapist, and I hope that other may use her as an example.

She got started right off the bat and was very supportive. I thought I was going to break down in the first fifteen minutes and left talking confidently.
October 30, 2019Kyle S.Verified patient
She was really informative, helpful, and gave me new insight to help me elevate my life in a positive manner. Considering I’m a person that doesn’t like to speak about my past/current issues, I found she was really easy to talk to.
October 6, 2019Kenchelo H.Verified patient
Just from my first session I can tell I'll be back. I felt that she gave me great dialogue at appropriate times while listening to me intently. The trust I've built with her instantly was more than enough to make me a loyal patient from here on out. I can tell with her I'm going to make alot of progress.

Tarra helped my husband & I through a rough patch in our marriage. She was always kind yet direct about what needed to change. She taught us to communicate better & held us accountable for our assignments. Really great counselor!
