Tara Wallace
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
My practice focuses on the treatment of childhood trauma, problematic sexual behavior related to trauma, and racialized trauma in children.
I work with children to help them develop language and skills needed to communicate their feelings related to experiences of trauma. With this comes awareness of self, effective coping skills and the ability to find safety in healthy relationships.
