Individualized, Collaborative Sessions
I use a combination of tools and techniques to creatively adapt sessions to meet the needs of individual clients – there is no one size that fits all.  â€‹I create space for you to process your thoughts and feelings and help you to find your clarity and meet your own goals. It is work that I am deeply honoured to do.
​
I often use cognitive behavioural techniques in counselling because how we think, how we talk to ourselves, and what we believe affects everything (our feelings, our behaviour, our self-esteem, our confidence in ourselves and the world around us). I offer a mix of therapeutic modalities (listed on this page ,below), all are emotion-focused and trauma-informed.  I received extensive post-graduate training in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) which has been noted by leading experts Drs. Ned Hallowell (ADHD) and Bessel van der Kolk (Trauma).  I am a Certified Master EFT Practitioner.  EFT uses elements of mindfulness, CBT, the energy of emotions, acupressure, breathwork, and acceptance & commitment therapy. I have found it to be very helpful for clients wishing to process strong emotions, like shame, guilt, anxiety, and anger. ​
Therapeutic Emotion Regulation Coaching (ADHD specialization)

This offering is for Adults living with ADHD who seek greater understanding of their experience with emotions plus solid guidance and strategies for managing feelings before they become overwhelming.

In these therapeutic sessions with Tara, you will learn the 3 A's of Emotion Regulation: Awareness, Acceptance, & Action:

Self Awareness

You will gain clarity about your experience with emotions and an increased ability to:

Identify which emotions you are feeling (this is also referred to as emotional literacy);

  • Identify your triggers (i.e., known situations that bring up anger, anxiety, sadness or some other feeling);

  • Identify your helpful patterns of responding to your heightened emotions; and,

  • Identify your unhelpful patterns of reacting when your emotions are heightened.

Self-Acceptance of your experience is an important part of this work. Tara will guide you to accept the parts you want to let go of, without judging or condemning yourself. Change requires compassion for if we hold tight to shame, we remain stuck. In this work, Tara will guide you to see, acknowledge, and celebrate the helpful adaptations you have been making all along, perhaps while unaware of your neurodivergence.

Self-Awareness + Self-Acceptance leads to Self-Empowering Action.

Self-Empowering Action often means introducing some behavioral change into your daily life, change Tara will guide you to do in incremental steps to set you up for success. Self-Empowering Action for Emotion Regulation includes an array of practices, strategies, and techniques. Tara will work closely with you to help you find those which suit you best!

 

Tara is a Certified Master Emotional Freedom Techniques Practitioner, happy to teach this effective method to those interested.
