About the Practitioner
Tara Fischer MSPC, LPC
Tara’s clinical approach to therapy is similar to the way she lives her life: consciously decluttering negative thoughts and feelings while actively making room for new ideas about what is possible for the future. Creating space to envision a different future while consciously examining past traumas through the lens of understanding can shift a client towards realizing their own potential. Tara’s experience working with children and adults with complex sexual, emotional, and physical trauma has led her to value the therapeutic relationship as a process of immense healing and growth. Tara is an EMDR I and II trained therapist with a passion for allowing the client to observe connections to past trauma in order to feel the relief of letting go of thoughts, feelings, and sensations that no longer serve the client moving forward. Tara creates a nonjudgmental space to allow the client to share their unique story while also focusing on daily habits that support change. Tara is also Trauma-focused CBT and Solution-focused trained, making use of specific approaches to meet the client’s therapeutic needs.
About the Practitioner
Rebecca Tatum LAC, MSPC
Rebecca Tatum is a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) who works with adults, adolescents, and children, and who specializes in trauma and human development. Every individual holds their own unique solution to reconciling their distress. As your therapist, Rebecca’s role is to assist you in finding your solution through evidence-based models of treatment and client-centered care.
“A mantra that I often see to be true is – healing takes place through connection. This is something that I have experienced in my own personal growth, and one that I see in many of those whom I have the honor of walking alongside on their inner journey. This truth can manifest itself in many ways as one travels their path. Yet, my observation is that it is ultimately expressed as a discovery of the deep, latent wisdom within each of our own hearts, and the creative unfolding of that wisdom into the daily experience of being human. My calling is to help others to cultivate their own connection to the vast and intuitive healing capability they can find within themselves. The therapeutic services I provide offer space for that heart-bridge to develop and extend, especially in response to trauma, loss, or a desire to deepen one’s understanding of self. It is with this in mind that I invite you to take the courageous step of engaging in the beautiful path of therapy.”
