Tara Coronado, LMHC

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, people-pleasing, or the weight of your past? Do you find yourself longing for peace but unsure how to break free from cycles of self-doubt or emotional exhaustion? You’re not alone and healing is possible. I’m Tara Coronado, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of Maraki Counseling. I specialize in therapy for women navigating the impact of childhood trauma, emotionally immature parents, grief, and toxic relationships. With over a decade of experience, I help women reconnect with their authentic selves and build lives that feel grounded, safe, and fully theirs. In our work together, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and collaborative communication style. I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and understood—not just as a client, but as a whole person with a unique story. My tone in treatment is: -Warm and empathetic – I offer a calm, nurturing presence where you can bring your full self without fear of judgment. -Curious and non-directive – I won’t tell you who to be or how to heal. Instead, I ask meaningful questions and offer insights that invite self-reflection and deeper awareness. -Empowering, not prescriptive – I believe you are the expert of your own experience. My role is to support you in reconnecting with your inner wisdom and strengths. -Trauma-informed and gentle – I go at your pace, honoring what feels safe and manageable for you, especially when working through painful or complex emotions. Clients often share that they feel emotionally held, validated, and encouraged in our sessions. Whether we’re processing deep-rooted wounds or celebrating small victories, my goal is to offer consistent support, clarity, and care.
