Tara Holstein

Engaging in therapy is a courageous and commendable journey, and Tara Holstein has enormous respect for the individuals, couples, and families she works with. She endeavors to create a solid base of trust and a collaborative connection with her clients. Depending on their needs and goals, Tara’s work may focus on improving quality of life, shifting patterns, or deepening overall self-awareness. She believes that healing often occurs as clients gain clarity and begin to move toward their desires, needs, and truths that may have been overshadowed by societal 'shoulds' and other absorbed messages over time. Drawing from classical and contemporary psychoanalytic, existential, humanistic, relational-cultural, and mindfulness-based perspectives, Tara remains ever-cognizant of the crucial role of culture in development, experiences, and needs. With experience in a wide range of settings including hospitals, residential treatment facilities, university counseling centers, and private practice, she provides therapy to individuals, couples, and families facing challenges related to mood disorders, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, loss, grief, self-esteem, transitions, and overall life satisfaction. Tara has particular expertise in eating disorders, having played a significant role in providing leadership and treatment for individuals and families across all levels of care, including inpatient hospitalization, residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient settings.
