Tara Morse

I truly believe that people have the capacity to change, grow, and achieve their full potential within the context of a supportive environment. This belief fuels my work as a therapist. I completed my undergraduate work at the University of Pittsburgh and received my Masters in Social Work from New York University. I have experience working with an array of identified problem areas including, but not limited to, anxiety, mood disorders, substance abuse, eating/body image, postpartum depression, self esteem and life/developmental transitions. I specialize in treating adults, yet also work with adolescents, couples and families. I utilize a thoughtful, individualized and eclectic approach with clients, drawing on elements of psychodynamic, interpersonal and cognitive behavioral theories. I believe that it is important to explore the past in order to understand why we think, feel and behave in the ways we do today. I aim to help clients overcome life challenges and gain awareness that although difficult experiences can create pain, they also build resiliency, empathy, insight, tolerance, and wisdom.
