About

Heart-Led, Whole-Person Therapy

I currently have limited openings for weekly and bi-weekly sessions. Reach out to explore whether we might be a good fit! Wholehearted Counseling & Wellness, LLC is the home of the private psychotherapy practice of Tara Cariano, MS, NCC. I believe that living wholeheartedly is both a radical act and a sacred return, and it's the heart of everything I do. I'm a depth-oriented psychotherapist and sacred space holder, and my work weaves together mindfulness, somatic and heart-based practices, and cyclical wisdom to guide women back to their most authentic selves, supporting healing from within, the reclamation of your full voice, and the courage to live values-driven and unapologetically whole. My approach is holistic and integrative, drawing from somatic, depth-oriented, mindfulness-based, nonviolent communication, and systems perspectives, informed by lived experience and my background as a yoga teacher and student of Ayurveda. After 12 years as a school counselor, I opened my practice to support women navigating life's many seasons with compassion. I have a deep love for working with mothers in all their forms, including biological mothers, stepmothers, non-biological mothers, and childfree women who love and mother in ways the world doesn't always recognize or celebrate. I hold parenting as a profound path of personal growth, honoring the way those we love mirror back exactly the medicine we most need.
