Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, CCTP, CIMHP
I thank you for taking the time to get to know me. We all face times in life where we struggle with the stressors of life, family responsibilities, and work-life balance. I practice a mind/body holistic approach to wellness. I offer you a free phone consultation to discuss issues prior to therapy.
Tara Lusby LPC and LCSW believes the client knows the best route for treatment, meeting them where they are at and partnering on their mental health journey. Specializes in individual therapy for adults 18-99 with a focus on anxiety, depression and trauma.
My passion is to help people realize what is possible, what they are capable of, and finding their best self. I specialize in transitions - in health, life, love and work. Living with a chronic illness or caring for someone with a chronic illness can be overwhelming. Transitioning from what has been to that "new normal" can be scary. I have been there and live through it myself. Taking care of a loved one? Been there. In today's world we are all dealing with changes at work and home and in our communities. Whether it is dealing with transition in your health, your job or school, I will walk with you and support you in your journey. I will meet you where you are, and together we will collaborate in your personal growth through self discovery, self acknowledgement and self care. I use a strength based approach, combining it with CBT, mindfulness and somatic approaches. We may integrate some IFS techniques along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to walk you through any anxiety, depression and pain and help you get to the root cause of what is keeping you from feeling like you are living your best self. I see clients ages 10 and up.

You are doing hard and scary work as you search for a therapist. You want to find the right therapist for you and that is why I offer a free, no-obligation consultation where you can ask your questions and get an idea of what I'm like. As a neurodivergent person (ADHD) with a family that is entirely neurodivergent (half have ADHD, half are autistic), I enjoy working with neurodivergent clients. I am certified in treating both autism and ADHD. I also am certified in treating complex trauma and specialize in working with clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder and OSDD. In all cases, I like to focus on your strengths and I will work with you to find the skills and techniques that are the right solutions for your particular needs. I like to provide a lot of education along the way, so that you can understand what is happening, why it's happening, and so you can make informed decisions about your treatment. I am non-confrontational and like to partner with you to work toward your goals. Just like you are unique, my approach to treating you will be individualized. My approach is both attachment-informed and trauma-informed and evidence-based. Although we're often talking about difficult or painful topics, we can often find humorous moments and share a laugh that lightens the load. You can learn a lot more about me and my approach at my website.
Therapist, @ Balanced Life Counseling & Consulting
I am here to support you! I specialize in partnering with adults experiencing Anxiety, PTSD, Impaired Self-Esteem, Spiritual or Religious Stressors, Burnout and Compassion Fatigue.
I provide Helping Professionals and Caregivers with a safe space to be vulnerable, explore a greater sense of Self, address life's concerns and improve self-care. My down-to-earth, inclusive style will also help you to feel safe, and at ease. I also specialize in supporting those who identify as Neurodivergent, Highly Sensitive Person and/or Empaths.
Therapy should be as unique as you are. As a therapist, I try to make sure you feel as comfortable as you need to feel in order to discuss the difficult stuff. I draw from my previous career, my education, and my own lived experience in order to make a connection with you, and help you be comfortable. I love to just have a conversation with my clients, getting to know who they are and how their challenges affect them, and subsequently, how to best approach each challenge to address it most effectively.
I am a calm, compassionate therapist. Over the past 12 years I have developed an understanding that being a therapist means much more than providing clients with the newest therapeutic approach. Therapy is the art of combining the intricate knowledge of a mental health diagnosis with the ability to guide clients toward a better understanding of themselves and their relationships. As a therapist my goal is to encourage clients to let go of what isn't working and adopt new skills that can improve the clients overall quality of life.
We all get tossed around in our own negative emotions often losing sight of the path that we need to focus on to find our way out. I believe my role as a therapist is to walk with my clients as we uncover the coping skills that we possess as well as develop new strategies to navigate through these rough patches that life throws at us.
I help people of all ages to feel confident in themselves, in life, and managing the stress of dealing with people. I specialize in helping clients overcome anxiety, improve relationship issues as an individual, providing therapy for Highly Sensitive People, and conducting child therapy through play.
I provide genuine and compassionate therapy to help you feel heard and not judged. I am here to guide you in understanding yourself and how you feel. I can provide practical steps so you can make changes you want for living life without anxiety and self-doubt.
My counseling style is client-focused, so I use what works best for each child, teen, or adult I see. I can use creative approaches like art, conversation, music, and play, to help you explore situations, find coping skills, and work through challenges. I provide a supportive space to allow you to be who you are and become who you want to be.
