In Glen Head, NY and telehealth throughout New York

I’m Tara Arutunian, LCSW, a psychotherapist in private practice in Glen Head, NY. I work with women and older adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, loss of a loved one, divorce, over-giving, and those who are recovering from narcissistic relationships. These struggles can sometimes show up as perfectionism, isolation, phobias, numbing out, avoidance, or rushing through life. Deep down, there’s often a knowing that something is off or out of balance.

My style is warm, direct, intuitive, and deeply collaborative. You don’t have to come in knowing exactly what’s wrong- just bring your real self. Sessions are conversational and compassionate, often weaving together deep emotional insight with curiosity, playfulness, and even laughter. I’ll meet whatever you’re carrying with honesty and care, while keeping an eye on where you want to go.

I believe the most important relationship to cultivate is the one with ourselves, because how we see and treat our own self shapes every other part of our life. My job is to help you come back to that inner relationship with more compassion, clarity, and flexibility.
