Tara Gingrich

I believe in every person’s capacity to find a path forward through difficult times. You may feel overwhelmed and not sure how to get on top of things. Or perhaps like your emotions are taking over your life. Hope is not lost.

Taking the step to reach out for therapy can be scary. I will approach our conversations with a gentle curiosity and do my best to create a comfortable space for you to share and reflect. I will encourage you to form a holistic understanding of yourself, supporting you in gaining a greater sense of control over life.

I have over 20 years of therapy experience in a variety of areas, including anxiety, depression, stress, emotion regulation, grief and loss, self-esteem, isolation, relationships, sexual or gender identity, and trauma.

I am a registered social worker who received my Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto in 2004. Much of my therapy experience outside of private practice has been working with adolescents and families in Children’s Mental Health. Using modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and Mindfulness, I will guide you to increase emotional awareness, build coping strategies and achieve your potential.

In my home life, I enjoy getting my hands into the earth as an amateur gardener, and look forward to spending time in nature with my family, especially in and around the water. Finding time for a creative textile project or an active outdoor activity also brings me joy.
