Dr. Tarra Bates-Duford

In therapy with me, you'll be accepted and encouraged—you can feel safe to be your authentic self without judgment or self-editing. My approach is not cookie-cutter; I’ll work with you to create a plan that is specific to who you are. I value being part of meaningful change and helping you move toward the life you want. My background includes working with couples, LGBTQIA+ individuals, human trafficking survivors, and people with sexual trauma. I also have experience treating dissociative identity disorder, severe and persistent mental illness, relationship issues, trauma, personality disorders, and severe and chronic depression.
