Tara Tobin, LMFT

Tara Tobin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who brings 19 years of clinical experience to her work with children, adolescents, parents, families, and couples. As an LMFT, she focuses on the relational patterns that influence emotional well-being and helps clients develop practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, attention challenges, depression, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her practice also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, mood disorders, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.

Tara has a background in psychology and the expressive arts, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a Minor in Studio Art and a Master’s degree in Marital and Family Therapy with a concentration in Art Therapy from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. She draws from a blend of clinical approaches - including client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, family systems ideas, and art-based interventions - to tailor treatment to each person or family. This mix helps clients increase awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building concrete skills for change.

Her approach emphasizes clients' strengths and lived experience, treating each person as the expert in their own life while offering guidance as a facilitator of growth and awareness. Tara helps families and individuals develop communication and problem-solving skills that support healthier relationships and improved quality of life. License: CA LMFT 52360.
