Tara Corso

they/them · LCSW, Clinical Supervisor

Tara is a relational psychodynamic therapist that specializes in supporting LGBTQ+ folks but accepts all adult clients. They work collaboratively with folks to help them gain more self-awareness and insight, to feel empowered to make the changes they are hoping to see in their lives and within themselves. Tara views therapy holistically and believes in meeting clients where they are currently at, drawing from different modalities to do so. In this work, they view the client-therapist relationship as central to treatment and build a foundation of mutual respect and trust. They hold a space of warmth and unconditional positive regard so folks can explore their concerns free of shame or judgment. Their practice is trauma-informed, sex positive, and kink and poly/CNM affirming. They have special interest in supporting adults around identity exploration, anxiety/depression, relationships, and adult ADHD diagnosis.
