Compassionate therapy for teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, academic stress, and life transitions. A supportive, judgment-free space to feel heard, build coping skills, and create meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Tara Sheets, LCSW. I earned my Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and have 8 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through a variety of life challenges. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, academic stress, life transitions, and stress management. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, feel heard, and work through what’s bringing you to therapy. I have experiences working in psychiatric hospital settings, school settings, day treatment centers, and private practice.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and needs. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, strengths-based approaches, and motivational interviewing to help you better understand your patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and build on your existing strengths. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a transition, or simply looking for support, my goal is to help you feel more confident, empowered, and connected to yourself and your life.
