Tara Pratt MFT
About
Welcome! I believe seeking help is a sign of courage and is the first step toward a more fulfilling and healthy life. As a counselor, I strive to create a healthy, therapeutic relationship with my clients in a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere with the goal of exploring and fostering self-compassion and acceptance. I offer goal-oriented and/or long-term relational therapy based on individual desires and needs. My approach is transparent and practical, while also being collaborative and warm. I believe in following a clients' lead, offering guidance and insight, and figuring out the best course of action together.
I have knowledge and experience in many different areas, including stress management, anxiety, depression, work-life balance, and sexuality. I have also worked extensively with substance abuse issues as well as adolescents. It is my pleasure to help people unwind and unravel the ways they may get stuck in life.
My intention with every client is to show up with an open heart and mind. It would be my pleasure to aid you in developing a healthy, happy, and balanced life.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I approach new clients with a sense of openness, warmth, and curiosity. I usually start with a 5-10 min phone call to get a better understanding of the client's needs and expectations. If the client is ready to, we schedule an initial session to more deeply explore concerns of the client and also to explain the therapeutic process.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a master's in Marriage and Family Therapy, which is a large umbrella degree for various types of therapy. I've been trained in Mindfulness approaches, Harm Reduction, Anxiety Relief, Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of other areas.
