Tara Pastis (Ramazani), LPC, RPT-S™, NCC (she/her)

State Approved Supervisor, Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapy Supervisor

Registered PlayTherapist™: Children as Young as 3 and Older

Talk Therapist: Teens and Adults

Tara has been with us since she was an intern, and I have loved watching her grow into the therapist/supervisor she is today.

She has a quieter temperment, thoughtful presence and is incredibly kind and caring. She is also remarkably thorough and dependable. When Tara says she is going to do something, she does it.

Her clients feel cared for, and it shows in how deeply they value their relationship with her.

Meet Tara...

I am passionate about meeting clients where they are and supporting them as they work toward growth and meaningful goals.

I value the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for navigating life’s challenges and creating lasting improvements in overall well-being.

I use play therapy with young children and take a relaxed, integrative approach with teens and adults.

My work is client-centered and tailored to each person’s unique needs, with the understanding that no two individuals or healing paths are the same.

I speak Farsi and am happy to incorporate it into sessions when it feels helpful or appropriate.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family and close friends. I also love playing the piano and taking long restorative walks.
