Individual Therapy

A place to slow down, to make sense of what has become unclear in your life.

I work with adults healing from difficult or traumatic childhoods, that have left them doubting their own self-worth, struggling in relationships, and disconnected from who they actually are.

There might be anxiety, depression, repeating conflicts, or difficulty processing a divorce or breakup, struggles with parenting and family members, or feeling lost. Often, we don’t know what else to do, so we disconnect, avoid, or numb, but start to notice it doesn’t really make things better.

I’m Tara Arutunian, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist in private practice in Glen Head, NY. I focus on finding the root patterns that are causing distress, so you can bring more balance and harmony to your life.

This creates opportunities for you to develop insight, healthier boundaries, self-awareness, and the skills to manage conflicts. Unresolved experiences from childhood can wreak havoc on our nervous system, so I’ll help you learn how to calm it through somatic awareness, and understand yourself more deeply.

I’ve worked extensively with psychedelics, and as a ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) provider, since 2022, and currently do integration sessions for those who are doing deeper psychedelic healing in retreats, clinics, or on your own.

If patterns keep repeating and something needs to change, therapy can help. Reach out to find out more.

What is therapy like?

Living room with a patterned pink rug, beige armchair, green armchair, large plant, books, and framed pictures on the wall.

My style is warm, direct, intuitive, and collaborative. You don’t have to come in knowing exactly what’s wrong, just bring your real self. Sessions are conversational, often weaving deeper 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 tend to is the one with ourselves, because how we see and treat ourselves 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.
