Tara Mackie

My communication style

I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment for you because the work we do in therapy will be successful only if there is trust. I am committed to your well-being, and I work very hard to ensure you know I believe in you. You can expect clarity about what we will do together and how I will support you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been the kind of person who showed up for others and did not shy away from witnessing other people's pain. I became a social worker to be an advocate for people. Working as a medical social worker in hospice, I found my true calling was working with people in grief. I am passionate about helping people.

My goals for you

In therapy, we are a team. The goals you want to achieve are my highest priority. We will discuss what you want to get out of therapy and together develop a plan to get there. We will review and assess where we are in our plan and always adjust if necessary.

Our first session

During our initial visit, I create space for you to share your reasons for seeking support. I will ask you questions regarding your current situation, how you are coping, what is challenging for you, and also what has been successful. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I will let you know what I can do to support you.
