Biography

I create a supportive, comfortable space where clients feel genuinely heard. I view therapy as a collaborative process, paced to meet each individual's needs. My approach focuses on real-life challenges, not just diagnoses, and considers how stress, health concerns, trauma, and life transitions impact daily functioning. My style is practical, compassionate, and approachable. I begin by learning each client's story, strengths, and goals. Early sessions prioritize trust and helping clients feel grounded and understood. I then collaborate on a personalized treatment plan using trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing. I integrate a mind-body perspective and regularly check in to ensure therapy remains helpful and aligned with client goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a BA in Psychology and a Master of Social Work. I began my career in case management and medical social work, supporting individuals and families through complex life and health challenges. Since transitioning into therapy in 2016, I have worked in outpatient and telehealth settings, including with adults experiencing co-occurring concerns. I am also a RYT 200 certified yoga teacher with training in trauma-informed practice and offer sessions in English and Spanish.

I offer a flexible, collaborative approach and draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including ARC (Attachment, Regulation, and Competency), Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches. I encourage openness and honesty around expectations and values, as this helps guide meaningful and effective treatment. If a particular strategy does not feel helpful, I work with patients to understand why and adjust accordingly. I view patients as the experts on their own experiences. Homework and worksheets are available upon request but are never required.

I focus on building trust by developing goals and treatment plans collaboratively with patients, taking into account lifestyle, aspirations, past experiences with mental health treatment, symptoms, and personal values. Together, my patients and I create achievable goals designed to produce tangible improvements in overall quality of life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts. I earned my MS from Suffolk University and my BS from UMass Amherst. My professional background includes work in community service agencies, public school systems, and drop-in centers, giving me experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, diagnoses, family structures, and life goals.

Tara Pavone, LMHC

I am a person-centered, nonjudgmental, relationship-based LMHC (licensed mental health counselor) who recognizes the intrinsic value of all people and holds positive regard for all my clients. I view counseling as a collaborative effort that provides psychoeducation and coping skills for the obstacles with which clients may be struggling, and clients provide insights as experts on themselves. I believe that all thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and have valid underlying factors. I seek to help clients connect the dots, from both past and present, to have a greater understanding of themselves and their environments. I also foster a safe space for clients to identify and embrace their feelings toward emotional catharsis. I aim to uphold cultural humility for ongoing learning and awareness that supports racial and social equity.

I received my Bachelor's Degree from Purchase College, State University of NY, and my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University. I have an eclectic style that utilizes Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and psychodynamic modality. I am experienced in working with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and child development.

I am a big proponent of self-care and encourage you to find whatever it is that fills your cup. For example, I love to watch TV and sing in my spare time.

I view therapy as a meaningful act of self-investment — an opportunity to approach oneself with curiosity, courage, and compassion. I strive to create a warm, validating, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed space where clients feel seen and supported. My approach is collaborative, relational, and evidence-based, integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. I help clients cultivate emotional flexibility, resilience, and self-awareness while clarifying their values and taking meaningful action in alignment with what matters most to them.

Before graduating from the NYU Silver School of Social Work, I worked in international human rights and educational settings. I have over 15 years of experience as a clinical social worker and previously worked with formerly homeless adults in supportive housing as a social worker, supervisor, and assistant program director.

I am solution-focused but use different approaches when helping clients. I like to figure out which methods work best, as there isn't a one-size-fits-all way. I use various tools to help, and if one tool isn't right, we search for others, never giving up. Clients can expect to have great tools and coping mechanisms moving forward, and they will know what steps need to be taken on their journey and feel confident in knowing they have my support and commitment.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's Degree in the state of NY. I have been a therapist for about 8 years and attended graduate school at night while raising two amazing children. I am a dedicated therapist with real-world experience as well as clinical experience. It is important for me to disclose this so that you know you are never too old to chase your dreams.
