Tara Hammonds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, MHSP) dedicated to providing psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, emerging adults, and families. She understands that challenging life events such as transitions, trauma, loss, and difficulties adjusting to divorce or limited social support can lead to various emotional struggles. These challenges may manifest as conflicts, depression, anxiety, emotional outbursts, academic decline, isolation, addiction, or other risky behaviors. With a firm belief in her clients’ capacity to grow, change, and achieve self-identified goals, she supports them in overcoming these obstacles. Tara's integrative approach to psychotherapy emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship, incorporating mindfulness practices, self-acceptance, the development of coping skills, and the repair of relationships. Her therapy style, which blends numerous methodologies, feels both genuine and organic, characterized by positivity, humor, and an down-to-earth demeanor that resonates with her clients. She utilizes evidence-based practices, including person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and child-parent psychotherapy techniques when appropriate. With a specialty in working with adolescents, young adults, and families, Tara makes it her mission to help reduce conflict and enhance support within family dynamics.
