Tara Arutunian

I have had training in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy and years of supervision with psychoanalytic practitioners. Most of my work is through this lens, to comprehensively get a picture of you, so I know what approaches to take in your treatment.

This is the natural way I practice and conduct my personal life. I have read extensively and am eternally interested in personal freedom in all of its manifestations.

Sometimes, what we need is to look at how we and others are thinking and behaving to make sense of rigid beliefs that can wreak havoc on relationships and life in general. I have additional training in CBT and find it to be a great tool in the therapy room.

I work with those who have relational trauma, like narcissistic abuse. If you have experiences from your past that seem to be negatively affecting your present life, or if you can't seem to make sense of why problems are repeating, or if you have isolated yourself from others, feel stuck, and don't know what to do, you may have trauma in your history. It is my passion to provide a safe space for you to be understood, with compassion, so you can begin to heal and thrive in your life.
