Tara Mechlin

As a therapist, Tara Mechlin understands that children, adolescents, and young adults face unique stressors from school, activities, family challenges, and transitional periods in life. These pressures can lead to a range of emotions, such as mood swings, behavioral changes, and difficulty in expressing thoughts and feelings. Tara's mission is to help young people navigate these challenges, teaching them coping strategies and promoting emotional balance. Through comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, she collaborates with individuals and families to create tailored treatment plans that leverage the client’s inherent strengths. Drawing primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she specializes in assisting youths dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, adjustment issues, and social challenges. Tara is also passionate about supporting college students as they manage the pressures associated with this pivotal life stage. Additionally, she offers supervision for graduate-level clinicians pursuing clinical licensure. Her therapeutic approach fosters a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can openly discuss their concerns and practice effective coping skills. For those struggling to cope, Tara is ready to guide you through identifying the best paths to healing and resilience.
