Hi, I’m Tara Behr.

I am a lover of truth.

I have chosen to fall in love with this world and human beings.

Music, poems, eros, intimacy with anam cara’s, my psychotherapy practice, writing and creating elixirs with herbs and wild plants are the main creative expressions that keep me anchored in who I am and what I love.

I care deeply about people's freedom to be themselves. I believe the only way our human species will survive the terrors we have created is if we each pick up the ashes of our lives, create beauty out of our aliveness, and support the aliveness of the other.

MY BACKGROUND

A surreal illustration of a human heart combined with a tree, with branches, leaves, and flowers growing from it.

I graduated from Denver Seminary's Counseling Program in 2017 and have been in private practice for the last six years, with a one-year sabbatical during this time. I have studied Christian mysticism through The Action and Contemplation School (2019), radical therapy and interpersonal phenomenology through an apprenticeship with my mentor Bruce Sanguin (2021- present), and ecopsychology through The Animas Valley Institute (2020-present).

I have a background in personal training, wilderness guiding, and vocal performance.

TRAUMA

Being human in this era is often filled with necessary (death, decay, loss) and unnecessary suffering (abuse). We will traverse the waters of how each of these has impacted you throughout your life.

Unnecessary sufferings are the failures of love we endured at the hands of people who were meant to offer us love. If we can face and transmute this suffering, we can co-participate in creating a more beautiful world for our present and future selves, our children and their children.

HEALING

The art of therapy is the process of reclaiming your soul. When your soul comes alive, our world becomes more beautiful.

Beneath the trauma you have endured is the beauty of your true self. When your true self emerges, you will be able to live into the life of your deepest desire. Love, connection, and creativity will be abundant.

I would be delighted to support you in this process of reconnecting with your true self. This is a journey back home to love.
