Tara Welker, PhD Clinical Psychologist

Finding a therapist and getting started can be a daunting process. I am here to help you on that journey. My therapeutic style is centered around understanding the unique set of experiences and life circumstances that shape your current challenges. I utilize an integrative treatment approach that allows me the flexibility and richness of choosing from interventions and strategies from several different therapeutic approaches. My work draws on Psychodynamic and Attachment/Developmental based theories and integrates interventions from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness/Meditation practices as well as incorporating Resiliency and Skills Building strategies. I work across the age range tailoring my approach to the appropriate developmental level including the use of play therapy for younger children. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from New York University in 2002 and have been providing treatment to children, teens and adults for over 20 years. Please feel free to call or reach out. I typically speak with all potential clients on the phone prior to making an appointment to determine if I will be a good match for you.
