Tara Reen

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive clinical experience working with diverse populations struggling with chronic illness, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and difficulty adjusting to a myriad of life stressors. I have offered trauma informed care and I am knowledgeable of somatic tools used to assist in coping and promote healing. I strive to offer a safe and collaborative therapeutic environment so you can create the change you are seeking. My approach incorporates third wave behavioral therapies and mindfulness-based practices in order to guide clients in becoming more accepting of their thoughts. With a focus on how behavioral patterns evolve over time, my aim is to help you take effective action in areas you can control and make improvements in the domains of life you value. In addition to my therapeutic work, I have over 15 years of experience providing Clinical Social Work in the Chicago area. I have assisted clients in managing the challenges chronic health conditions can present, and I am also familiar with treating substance use disorders utilizing mindfulness-based sobriety and motivational interviewing techniques.
