Tara Sharifan, PsyD

Hi, I'm Tara.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist, coach, and consultant with a passion for deep, evidence-based work.

My clinical work centers on adults navigating trauma, anxiety, identity exploration, neurodivergence, and the kind of complicated inner terrain that doesn't fit neatly into a diagnosis. I draw from a humanistic and attachment-based foundation, and integrate EMDR, somatic and yoga-informed practices, polyvagal theory, and CBT to support nervous system regulation, self-compassion, and values-aligned living.

Beyond individual therapy, I offer coaching for adults seeking support with nervous system regulation, executive function, and parenting. I also provide consultation for therapists and mental health professionals who want to grow their clinical skills, work through complex cases, and sustain themselves in the process.

In any service I deliver, my approach is grounded in values of curiosity, authenticity, compassion, and trust in each person’s capacity for healing and wholeness.
