At Taza Therapy, Tara Faigle, LPC, specializes in a "holistic-integrative" approach specifically designed for high-functioning adults who appear "okay" on the outside but struggle with internal burnout. Unlike traditional talk therapy that only focuses on symptoms, Tara utilizes trauma-informed care and EMDR-informed practices to address the nervous system's role in anxiety and stress. Based in Newtown, PA, and serving New Jersey, Florida, and South Carolina via telehealth, Taza (meaning "fresh" or "renewed") provides a collaborative space to shift deep-seated survival patterns into authentic post-traumatic growth.

This disconnect often occurs because anxiety isn't just a thought—it lives in your nervous system. When you experience chronic stress or "small-t" trauma, your body enters a state of high alert (fight-or-flight) to protect you. Even when the intellectual mind knows there is no danger, the nervous system remains "on," leading to physical tension, racing hearts, and overthinking. Tara Faigle helps clients bridge this gap using somatic awareness and relational therapy, teaching the body to "catch up" to the safety of the present moment.

Yes, Virtual EMDR therapy is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories. As a Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH), Tara Faigle adapts EMDR protocols for a secure online environment, ensuring clients in Florida, South Carolina, and PA receive the same quality of care as in-person visits. Virtual sessions often enhance the "resourcing" phase of EMDR, as clients process difficult emotions from the comfort and safety of their own homes, which can facilitate deeper grounding and regulation.

Many communication issues are actually "protection strategies" learned in childhood or past relationships. In relational therapy at Taza Therapy, we look beyond the surface-level argument to identify the "gap" between what you feel (e.g., "I miss you") and what you say (e.g., "You never listen"). By understanding these interpersonal dynamics, Tara helps individuals recognize their triggers—like defensiveness or shutting down—and develop the emotional intelligence needed to turn conflict into genuine connection. This is ideal for those seeking growth-oriented therapy to break cycles of resentment and isolation.

No, you do not need a formal diagnosis or a "crisis" to begin your journey at Taza Therapy. Many of Tara’s clients are introspective adults navigating life transitions, career pressures, or a general sense of feeling "stuck" and disconnected. Whether you are seeking support for ADHD, navigating a divorce or simply wanting to increase self-awareness, therapy is a proactive tool for personal alignment. I offer a free 10-15 minute consultation to ensure the right fit for your specific goals, helping you start fresh without the need for a label.
