I'm Tara, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of South Carolina. I'm also the owner of A Peaceful Mind Counseling Service, LLC. I have worked in the field of mental health for almost 20 years and have been providing therapy 16 years. I started my career working with children. Over the years I have developed skills to support individuals with behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, anger, family/parenting conflict and trauma. I have a history of working with children who have autism and and has a certificate in ABA.
I believe that the focus should start with the individual and provide coping skills to address current issues while taking the necessary steps to resolve those issues and reach your goal. It is my goal to assist/guide individuals in being able to share in a safe place. I have experience in Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing .
When you are ready to take the next step, I'm here to support and guide you. My calendar has limited availability.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
