Tara Wells

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi and welcome! I believe that finding the right fit for your counselor is an important step in this journey of feeling better, and I’m grateful you’ve decided to take the time and read mine. I have been a social worker for eight years and a life coach and counselor for a decade working with a variety of people including individuals, groups, and children. Currently, I run a small private practice and mental coaching business for athletes looking to access their competitive potential.
I would say my experience has been quite varied. I’ve practiced in substance use facilities, 6-12 grade in public schools, community field work, with young adults, and I also work in the world of collegiate athletics. I feel my best as a therapist when I can work with my clients to develop goals and clear pathways to success however that may look. I also crossover into other aspects of practice that include LGBTQ+ populations, multicultural issues, and trauma.
I appreciate therapeutic styles and approaches that consider multicultural considerations and that value diversity. I practice cultural humility when engaging in work with individuals who have cultural considerations especially those I can learn from myself.
I’m thrilled you’re here looking for relief and I hope I can be a part of your team to support you. *Please note that I am currently only accepting new members who are looking to message or chat for live scheduled sessions*
Let’s get at it!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility – you can connect in the format that fits your routine and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to keep therapy consistent and integrate it into a busy life. Licensed professionals offer care through these remote formats, and you may choose to switch therapists if you want a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible way to work on everyday mental health concerns while maintaining the structure and support that in-person therapy provides.
