Great to meet you!

My name is Taresa Spade, LCSW. I'm a private practice therapist licensed in the states of HI, CA, WA, MT, MN, and IL. I bring a down-to-earth and practical approach that embraces real-world solutions while attending to deeper healing, and empowerment. I focus on helping you find your way through stress and anxiety-based issues, trauma (all kinds), major life change, loss and grief (via death or loss of any kind), caregiver issues, chronic and/or terminal illness, adult ADHD, and estrangement.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My work is informed by Cognitive-behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, Adaptive Info Processing, Attachment, Internal Family Systems, Compassion Focused, Grief, Somatic, Solution-oriented, and Trauma therapies. I have significant experience w/ many religions and beliefs systems. If you choose, these are embraced in our visits.

What you can expect from our first session

In therapy, I emphasize effectiveness and practicality by focusing on easy-to-implement steps and real-life solutions. Our conversations will center on your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and experiences to build a dynamic plan that is directly applicable to your daily life.


Taresa's style is

Empowering
Solution-oriented
