Miss Tara McRae

Registered Social Worker

“An experienced and thoughtful Social Worker, Psychotherapist who will provide a gentle, evidence based approach and ensure that progress is at the forefront!”

About Me

I offer a gentle, evidence-based space. Here, we can thoughtfully explore your experiences and develop new coping tools. My approach combines warmth with practical, proven methods, ensuring a pace tailored to your needs. This supportive environment is ideal for those seeking steady, tangible progress in navigating life's challenges.

Approach

Progress guides each step: sessions move at a careful pace that balances practical skill-building with space to reflect on what feels most important to you. I meet adults and couples from Acton, Ontario and online in English, creating predictable structure while staying flexible to each week’s needs. Together we try targeted tools for anxiety, mood shifts, sensory or developmental differences and trauma recovery, often with small between-session practices and brief check-ins to reinforce gains. This approach suits those looking for steady, measurable progress.
