Hi there! I’m Tarah Davis, and I’m so glad you stopped by. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Take Heart Counseling. I truly believe that everyone’s path is different, so I make sure to customize my support to fit what you need most. I utilize trauma-informed care, values-based support, acceptance &commitment therapy (ACT), and attachment-focused therapy to help you explore those deep-seated beliefs that might be holding you back—all in a warm, friendly environment. Building a trusting and respectful relationship is really important to me because I see therapy as a teamwork kind of thing. For me, it’s not just a career—it’s a heartfelt passion to walk beside you as you work through feelings of being stuck and discover ways to thrive in a world that can sometimes feel unpredictable. I’d be thrilled for us to start this journey together! My hope is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. By tailoring my approach to your unique needs, I aim to support your personal growth and help you build emotional resilience.
As a licensed professional counselor, I am dedicated to helping adults and adolescents navigate life's challenges. My passion for counseling stems from a deep desire to make a positive impact on the mental well-being of my clients.

My aim is to use evidence-based, personalized strategies that not only help you understand yourself better but also give you practical tools to use every day.
