Tara McRae (she/her) is a MSW RSW Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist. She works with young adults experiencing the weight of anxiety in a pursuit driven world, couples looking to rebuild connection and the neurodiverse who have struggled to find the right therapeutic service. Young adults come to Tara because they feel so anxious that it keeps them up at night. Not knowing where they are going is enough to keep them from leaving the house. They push through, but they are often filled with a sense of dread. They have a pit in their stomach and tightness in their chest. They worry that they are not doing enough or that they are failing at work or school. They feel overwhelmed and even panicked. They worry about the mistakes they will make. They avoid spending time with friends because they worry about saying or doing the wrong thing. Couples see Tara because they are feeling tired of having the same conflicts again and again. They feel lost and as though they are at an impasse. They feel the trust is broken and totally disconnected. They don’t know how to fix things. Neurodiverse adults come to see Tara because they are frustrated that they have not been able to find a therapeutic service that will adapt to their needs. Their disability may be being noted but their other mental health needs and life concerns are being overlooked.
