About

Hi there, I'm Taryn! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Taryn L. Church; I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist in Hawaii, as well as New Mexico. Taking this step towards self-discovery and growth is a commendable decision, and I'm here to support you in every way that I can. I am a trauma-informed, client-centered therapist. What that means is I desire to help you recognize and understand the impact that past experiences may have on your present thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Then go a step further and identify if those things are still serving you or if there are areas you’d like to change. We will work collaboratively to explore these aspects, fostering deeper personal understanding and empowering you to navigate life's challenges on your terms. My approach Client-centered therapy means that you are at the heart of our sessions. Your unique experiences, goals, and pace will set the tone and guide our conversations. I am here to provide support, empathy, and guidance as you navigate your personal journey towards healing and growth. Throughout our time together, we will build a trusting and authentic therapeutic relationship. Open communication is key, I want you to share your thoughts, concerns, and goals. Our sessions are a judgment-free zone, and your confidentiality is of utmost importance. I utilize numerous theoretical approaches, based on client/situational needs. I believe clients should be treated wholistically. While we may be using CBT or a common behavioral model, I am also utilizing central nervous system strengthening techniques as well as integrating Client-requested spiritual aspects of healing, if desired. My focus My experience is with a broad multicultural range of clients, ranging in age from 12-70. For the last 5-10 years, my work has focused on those seeking to overcome past issues of trauma, establishing healthy identity, self-worth and recognizing areas in relationships where the past has been “brought in” to the present.
