"My name is Mindy. I am 39 years old. I have lived all my life being a very emotional person. Even as a child my feelings were hurt easily, and it didn't matter what emotion I was feeling whether it was anger or sadness, I would break down in tears. When I was 26 years old my husband of 8 years was killed in a wreck.  I was left with a 9 year old son and 3 year old daughter to raise on my own. That has been 13 years ago and it has been hard to trust anyone for fear of being left alone again. I recently got involved with a man who was going through a divorce and I thought he was everything any woman could want, I believed in him and trusted him. His wife had left him for another man. After about 4 months of a wonderful relationship, one I didn't think was possible for me, he took his wife back and left me. Not only was I dealing with that, but I started reliving all the feelings I had gone through when my husband was killed. It was extremely hard to get through a day of work without having a breakdown and start crying. All of these uncontrollable emotions were coming over me and it was affecting every aspect of my life. My sister had been to see Tara after a horrible relationship and had miraculous results, so I thought it couldn't hurt. I spent 2-2 hour sessions with Tara and got rid of a lifetime of emotions that were holding me back from having a happy and normal life. For the first session I walked in the door a crying emotional mess.  When I walked out the door I was ready to celebrate life. Her techniques provided instant relief from my lifetime of emotional stress. I felt like a new person. I only wish I had gone to her years ago. I then had more issues with the man that had left me and other life issues going on and I went to Tara again. I am now able to better deal with my relationship problems, my job, my family and anything else that causes me stress in life. I have become a stronger person in all areas of my life, thanks to Tara."

"My 17-year-old daughter and I used to disagree on everything. She seemed upset most of the time, and every interaction turned into a fight. My frustration level had reached its’ peak when I finally decided to call Tara and set up an appointment. From the moment she met my daughter things began to change for the better. Even my daughter said: “Tara made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. From the moment I walked in, I felt that she was eager to help me. She treated me as a friend instead of a patient. I had been feeling very anxious about staying at home. I felt very trapped. Tara took this anxiety away and now I feel more relaxed and calm.” My daughter is relaxed and happy, and we are able to laugh together. We have serious conversations and they do not get blown out of proportion. Tara, you are a miracle worker! You took care of my daughter’s anxiety and our relationship is healed."

"Almost immediately after our session I felt released from so much guilt, shame, pain and sadness regarding my issues as a child and teen. My depression and PTSD etc., has eased so much it is incredible.  I have a much more positive outlook on life and a sense of freedom from bondage that I have not felt my entire life.  I don't think I can put into words how grateful I am for you and what you do!  It seems that every day is an improvement from the previous day. My anxiety about every day things such as interacting with people in general and my immediate family and friends is much improved! My hideous dreams have almost completely subsided too.

In a nutshell, I thank God for you and your expertise in your field!!!!! I am so glad that you help others as well and hope that all people who have afflictions as I did will somehow be able to be blessed with the healing that I had and continue to experience!"

Sincerely and eternally grateful,

"Thank you for getting the old me back! When I lost my twin brother and saw what the hospital had done the week before I didn't know if I could ever get over the grief and anger, but after seeing you the grief and anger is gone.  I have since met with the hospital so hopefully this will never happen to another family, and the administration (of the hospital) was glad I did.  I just feel so great... I miss my brother but I know he's OK and I can deal with it now thanks to you."

"In a single session, Tara got me past 20 years of misplaced guilt, sadness, and disappointment. I had one of those kids who was given to me to test my last nerve and all of my resolve. The teen years were as rough as a parent endures and my handling of it was my best, but fraught with worry as to [whether it was] “good enough?” Knowing, logically, that it was all useless water under the bridge, and not an effective way to live, I sought help. Tara worked a creative miracle, skillfully weaving words my subconscious understood, working around the obstacles of “but what about” and getting that piece to where it all clicked into place. Can’t thank you enough!"

"It’s much better.  In fact I haven’t had a panic attack since.  However, Mr. D and I have still maintained contact, but it’s not difficult or an emotional conversation like it used to be.  Things have done a complete 180 and I feel comfortable just being friends and having no regrets.  Thank you Tara it means the world to me!"

"Tara has been an absolute rock for me both personally and professionally. Tara inspired me to go after my dreams and bulldozed any roadblocks that got in my way. Tara is a powerful therapist and at the same time a gentle spirit. A perfect balance for helping others. Thank you Tara for your encouragement and enlightenment!"

Tara is a very astute and skilled clinician. Her insight is amazing and she has a way of reaching people with compassion and humor that instantly lifts their spirits and helps them move forward quickly. She is passionate about her work in empowering trauma survivors and is truly making this world a better place. Tara is also excellent at creating community and writes in a way that gets to the heart of an issue with clarity... and her signature witty perspectives. I hope you get a chance to work with her as a client, read her forthcoming book on using humor in therapy, or experience her as a coach and teacher. She'll change your life!

"Tara Dickherber has been my therapist for over two years.  Once she began to use clinical hypnotherapy all the pieces of the puzzle of my emotional quest  came together.  I have regained the  edge that have been seeking for years.  I feel more empowered as my authentic self is being expressed.  The technique works for me.   At surprising moments in everyday life, I re-experience   the images that we developed in our sessions.  In this way the emotional healing continues.    I have greater emotional clarity and control in my life.  Even my new female friend is  filled with mirth when she is with me."
