About me

I am licensed in the state of Washington with 8 years of professional work experience. I have worked with teens 13yo+ in the public school system as well as in the Residential treatment settings. I have experience in helping clients with a wide range of concerns from stress and anxiety to coping with substance use and addictions, overcoming the impact of trauma and abuse, as well as improving motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
It is my belief that you are the expert of your story and that you have the strengths within yourself to overcome the obstacles that may get in the way of you being a healthy and happy teenager and future young adult. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tara Brown. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

She did a great job.

Written on Jul 19, 2023 after therapy with Tara for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and career difficulties

Tara listens with concern and care and is easy to talk to. She shared some great tools to help me deal with the stress and shake off the case of the "gloomies" I was experiencing.
