Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and my services. My name is Tara Tivnan and  I have been a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Massachusetts for over 25 years and am also a certified Integrative Nutritional Health Coach.  I received my health coaching training through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, a world-renowned health education organization. 

My clients would describe me as warm, engaging, down to earth and easy to talk with.  I am commited to establishing a safe and non-judgmental relationship, which I believe is an essential part of the therapeutic and coaching process.  I will empower you to better your health by providing a safe space to explore all aspects of your health and will guide you to become an expert on your well-being.   I will strive to meet you where you are at, to be a good listener, and to be a partner in your journey toward your healthiest self.  

When working with my therapy clients, I take a holistic and solution-focused approach to addressing mental health concerns by helping clients explore all that can contribute to, or inhibit health and happiness.  I have a special interest in working with women/moms on the challenges often unique to us, whether it is being able to set healthy boundaries, increase assertiveness and self-care, or find a sense of balance in busy lives.  

When working with my health coaching clients, I also take a holistic approach, looking beyond food to consider other areas of life that need nourishment, such as career, physical activity, and relationships.  One of my favorite aspects of coaching is seeing clients make changes that allow them to experience more joy and purpose in their lives.
