Tara Jubanowsky, LCSW, ACSW
My passion has always been children and families. Before transitioning to private practice I worked with families in a hospital setting and have a strong background in counseling children, siblings and parents through chronic or life-threatening conditions. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as grief and bereavement. I enjoy working with children, adults, and families because life is complicated, however minor changes can make a big difference in everyday life and overall wellbeing. Our time together can help to identify areas of strength and resilience to provide space for reflection, growth and ultimately a more fulfilling life.
Mary Wood, LCSW
Embarking on the journey of therapy can understandably be daunting. It requires significant strength to acknowledge when some challenges are too complex to manage alone. I am deeply committed to normalizing mental health care and creating a supportive environment where clients feel understood and valued.I specialize in working with both adolescents and adults, addressing a broad spectrum of concerns, including anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, relationship and family issues, and challenges with self-esteem. My therapeutic approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Exposure Therapy. My aim is to ensure that each client feels genuinely heard, empathized with, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey.I provide gender-affirming and LGBTQIA+ inclusive care, and I am dedicated to celebrating each milestone in my clients' paths toward greater clarity and resilience. Additionally, when appropriate, I incorporate humor as a valuable tool in the therapeutic process. It is a privilege to understand and support each individual's unique journey, offering guidance and empathy as they navigate this transformative experience.

My therapy style is best described as eclectic, pulling from Brief Solutions Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychoanalytical, and Narrative Therapy. I use elements from each in a seemingly freestyle manner. It suits my work with Neurodiverse folks, like myself, by allowing me to draw connections and parallels to presenting issues from seemingly unrelated tangents. This allows plenty of freedom to explore topics tangential to or unrelated to your established goals if it is what you want to focus on. I have 9+ years of experience working in the mental health field first as a substance use recovery counselor, then a qualified mental health professional, and for the last 5 years as a licensed psychotherapist. I also have 42 years of experience living in our society as someone with ADHD. I will keep an open mind, try my best not to gaslight your concerns, and ask for clarification and feedback so that we can both feel comfortable that we are working toward YOUR goals and addressing problems that you've identified. I will strive to make you feel heard, validated, and challenged in progress toward goals that you define at a pace that comfortably suits your level of motivation and available mental bandwidth.
