I believe effective mental health care starts with feeling heard, respected, and understood. I take a collaborative, non-judgmental approach and work closely with you to understand your goals, concerns, and life context—not just your symptoms.
I value clear communication and transparency, so I’ll explain diagnoses, treatment options, and medications in a way that’s easy to understand. My goal is to help you feel confident and informed about your care, not rushed or overwhelmed.
I provide evidence-based medication management while considering the whole person—mental, emotional, and physical health. I welcome questions and encourage active participation in treatment decisions so we can create a plan that truly fits your needs.
Whether you’re seeking care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, or ongoing medication management, I aim to create a supportive, safe space where progress feels achievable and care feels personal.
I’m Tara Garland, and I will connect with you to work through and support you on any struggles or challenges you are going through—helping you turn them into healing and strength. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors who may be managing anger, anxiety, depression, family issues, grief, and loss. I also support clients experiencing trauma, stress management challenges, sleep or panic disorders, OCD, ADD/ADHD, relationship or identity issues, and women’s issues. My goal is to help you find balance, relief, and the confidence to move forward in your life.
Hello! I am an existential therapist and former lawyer. I understand the challenges of working in a high-stress job, managing family obligations, finding time for rest, and coping with anxiety and depression. I specialize in relationship trauma, panic attacks, insomnia, post-divorce, IVF difficulty, climate/political anxiety, and work-related performance issues.
Feeling stressed and overwhelmed lately? Or struggling with depression or anxiety for as long as you can remember? Everyone might be dealing with something different. My job is to create a safe and non-judgmental space for your pain to be seen. I hope you will feel safe to talk about everything in this space. I believe that psychotherapy, at its core, should be a healing relationship. Through this relationship, you can slowly learn to experience your life a little differently.

Hi, I’m Mariam Opafunso, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related concerns, as well as eating-related conditions in adolescents and adults.
Outside of my professional role, I value balance and growth, and I show up fully for the people I serve. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and truly heard.
With 33 years of experience as a clinical social worker, I've worked alongside people of all ages-teenagers navigating identify and stress, adults managing trauma, anxiety and mood disorders and seniors facing grief, loss and major life transitions. I've practiced in community mental health, crisis response, primary care and outpatient settings-this variety and extent of experience contributes to how I show up for you in every session.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder and stress management. I work with adolescents, adults and older adults and I accept many major insurance plans-Including Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, BCBS, Regence, Carelong and Quest. All sessions are virtual, which means you can access consistent, quality care without leaving home.
I hold a Masters of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and am fully licensed in Oregon and Washington.
