Tara Bass, LCSW

You are most likely here because you are experiencing suffering and you have recognized that you need support. Creating change can be difficult and it takes courage to ask for help. Taking this step shows bravery and a deep commitment to your own health.

I work with high-responsibility individuals who are used to being the one others rely on. Outwardly, you appear capable and successful, like you are holding it all together. Internally you may be carrying burnout, grief, relationship stress, or guilt slowing down or taking rest.

Through Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Mindfulness approaches, I help you better understand the parts of yourselves that strive, over-function, or carry old wounds, so you can move through life with greater clarity, balance, and self-compassion. I also work with building skills to navigate relationships, communication, and harmful behaviors in your life.

Every day is a fresh opportunity for growth and change. Inside of us all is the capacity for Clarity, Compassion, Confidence, Courage, Creativity, and Connectedness, and Calm. These are qualities that we all have access to and no matter how challenging life feels, I can help you rediscover them. Through this process it is possible to increase internal harmony and feel connected to yourself.

I offer a space for you to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with your inherent wisdom and learn to rest in a more grounded way of being. I welcome adults from all backgrounds and life experiences, creating a safe and respectful environment where every part of your story is welcome.
