Tara Greene, LCSW
Hello, I am Tara Greene, LCSW. I am a social worker by nature and by profession which means I have always been passionate about people and relationships. I sought professional training to create social change- one individual, one couple, and one family at a time. I believe all change begins within ourselves as we understand our thoughts and feelings and how they drive our behavior. I believe our bodies hold a wealth of knowledge and are a great resource to us. We feel emotions in our bodies- that’s why they are called feelings. When we experience trauma our body becomes activated and we go into flight or fight or we shut down and freeze.
Over the past six years, I have become deeply curious about the physical sensations of emotions and the physiological impacts of trauma. We store unprocessed emotions in our bodies, particularly in our limbic system, and when we are reminded of a traumatic event our bodies light up and we are sucked back to the past to the time when the trauma occurred. There are therapeutic modalities designed to release trauma from the body- EMDR being one of them. It has been my great pleasure to learn EMDR, psychosomatics, and other mind-body bridging techniques and incorporate them into my psychotherapy practice so I can guide my clients to access the wisdom of their own bodies.
Allow me to guide you on your path toward healing and increased happiness using my extensive training, experience, and wisdom. With empathy, intuition, grounded presence, and humor I help my clients feel comfortable in session and gain skills to use in their lives outside of the therapy office. Populations served:
Individuals, adults, teens, and couples.
