Tara Hummel, LMHC, LPC

Asking for help can feel difficult, and Tara Hummel recognizes the courage it takes to reach out. She aims to offer hope and practical guidance that supports movement toward a more fulfilling future.

She holds LMHC and LPC credentials - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor - and is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Her clinical background includes 6.5 years working with children and adolescents with Autism and other mental health disorders, partnering with caregivers to manage challenging behaviors and navigate co-parenting difficulties. She also brings extensive experience supporting people who struggle with alcoholism and addiction, with 15 years devoted to that work.

Outside of direct clinical work, Tara volunteered from 2015 to 2019 at Camp Erin in Philadelphia as a cabin Grief Chief, helping children ages 6 to 17 process the death of a loved one through activities that encouraged expression, storytelling, and remembrance. That experience reflects her long-standing commitment to creating supportive spaces for healing.

Tara approaches clients with dignity, respect, and compassion, integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques, trauma-focused methods, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor care to each person’s needs.
