Eye Movement Desensitization and ​Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy ​treatment designed to alleviate the distress ​associated with traumatic memories. This ​technique uses a structured approach involving ​eight phases. This image provides a breif ​synopsis of each phase.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a powerful ​listening therapy designed to help regulate the ​nervous system, so you can better connect with ​yourself, others and the world around you.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) was ​designed by Dr. Stephen Porges based on ​decades of research that is now known as the ​Polyvagal Theory.

Tara collaborates with school systems, ​leaders and educators to support ​learning around school wellness, teacher ​burnout, social emotional learning, and ​trauma informed practices. Tara guides ​collaborative school leadership groups, ​teacher groups, and offers school-wide ​professional development training.
