Hi, I’m Tara Fries. I believe therapy can help you create a more meaningful, connected, and fulfilling life. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable space where you can sort through life’s challenges, process emotions, and develop tools to navigate daily stressors with confidence and balance.
Did you experience trauma in childhood or adolescence? Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, fear, or depression? Do you feel misunderstood by others, judged, or find it challenging to connect with others? Therapy is a safe place where you can understand yourself better and learn to cope with these thoughts and feelings, which may be interfering with your happiness, health, and relationships.
I enable strategies and techniques that are specific to each client.
I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults and families for over 20 years. I am skilled at working with a variety of mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, school based issues, child-parent conflict and behavioral management.
I have a background which includes many years of Post-Graduate education, knowledge and experience providing mental health care to those who need help dealing with a wide range of mental health issues or concerns. Whether you desire improved and better quality relationships, need help with feelings, with issues of daily life, or with reaching your goals, I can help you gain emotional health - the ability to love, work and play as you wish.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 15 years of Post-Graduate education and training in Modern Psychoanalysis at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis, which allows me to listen and respond to your needs, through special understanding of unconscious processes that affect the human mind as a whole.
My specialty is in using Talk Therapy as a treatment for relieving mental and emotional distress. Whatever your diagnosis, difficulty, age, finances, or emotional needs, I help you with the process of talking to solve conflicts which block you from accomplishing what you want in life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Elizabeth
Searching for therapists in Elizabeth starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may list specialties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for experience that matches your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.
Elizabeth is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger nearby markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. You may want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios closely can help you understand communication style, areas of focus, and whether the therapist’s availability fits your schedule.
Therapy in Elizabeth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that information clear before you book. You can search for Elizabeth therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, enter your insurance details to see estimated costs, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
