About My Clients

With the pandemic giving many people the time to reflect, many have found themselves feeling stuck, going through many transitions, or noticing relationship patterns that they would like to break. I specialize in working with women of color to create a collaborative partnership where we can work together toward helping you remove the barriers to inner happiness.

My Background and Approach

I am a licensed mental health counselor with several years of experience in the mental health field working primarily with people of color, in various settings including child welfare, the criminal justice system, and private practice. I provide assistance processing unresolved relationships from the past, struggles with self-esteem, and a safe place to process daily life stressors. I work from an integrative approach to help you connect your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to early experiences. Social justice also informs my work. I take special care to continually educate myself so that I minimize reenacting the negative social dynamics that can be present in the world. It’s important to me that my clients feel seen, heard, and supported. As a Black woman, I understand the stigma to seeking services in these communities. However, together, we can empower you to find your own solutions If you’re ready to begin your healing journey today, email me at taryn@teaforthesoulmhc.com
