Tara Sindler, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tara!

My approach to therapy is increasing wise action with the mind and listening to the body, increasing the ability to feel feelings, all to create a life worth living for the client.

My focus

I specialize in addiction, both process and substance, behavioral issues, relationship conflict, and spiritual support.

My approach

The therapeutic approaches I use are DBT, Mindfulness, Attachment-Based, Somatic Experiencing, Humanistic, and solution-focused therapy.

My communication style

My communication style is warm and direct, like talking to your wise best friend.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a therapist is the only thing I can recall ever wanting to do. It started with a book about the philosopher Nietzsche and the creation of the 'talking cure.' Although I am not friends with my clients, I love to support people to the next level of their evolution.
