Meet Taryn Petrillo
LCSW
SHE/HER
In-Person & Virtual
TEENS & ADULTS
Hi I’m Taryn! I’m passionate about mental health, personal growth and healing. I love spending time with my family and going on adventures with them. In my free time I enjoy running, rock climbing, hiking, listening to audiobooks and being in nature. My interests are ever-changing, but I would say my current ones include journaling and learning about human design. I believe therapy supports the “pause” from the everyday life, that allows space for intentional reflection and supports growth.
MY SPECIALTIES
Areas of Expertise
Sessions with me will be a journey of exploring what’s going on in your life and meeting
you where “you’re at” each week. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression or on
self-discovery journey we’ll go at your pace, in a supportive, nonjudgmental space
where you can be your authentic self. I use a mix of approaches such as Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, strengths-based, art therapy,
mindfulness and others, tailored to the goals we set for you. I will work alongside you
integrating evidence-based techniques, helping build clarity, resilience and
empowerment.
