"Help me help you help me."
--Jerry Maguire
Tara McKinney provides counseling and psychotherapy services to individuals, couples, families and groups. Her approach is warm, accepting, directive and supportive. She believes that therapy is a collaboration with clients to find new solutions to old problems and to facilitate healing from past trauma, loss or negative experiences that may be negatively affecting present relationships, behaviors, attitudes, and emotions. She helps clients move through maladaptive, unhealthy and unproductive behavior patterns and replace them with new tools for creating satisfaction and connection.
