Tara Lorenzetti, MA, LPC, Ed.S.

Licensed Professional Counselor | Child-Centered Play Therapist

Every individual has a unique way of processing the world—whether that’s through the language of play, the complexity of neurodiversity, or the transition into adulthood. I provide a trauma-informed, strengths-based space where you (or your child) can feel truly seen, heard, and valued.

My Specialties

  • Preschool & Early Childhood (Ages 3-6): Using Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), I help our youngest clients express what they don’t yet have the words for. I specialize in helping preschoolers navigate “big feelings,” emotional regulation, and developmental milestones.

  • Neurodiversity (ADHD & Autism): With deep roots in Special Education, I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent individuals. I focus on celebrating unique brains while providing practical tools for navigating a world that isn’t always built for them.

  • College Students & Young Adults: Life transitions can be overwhelming. I support students navigating the “identity squeeze” of college, managing high-functioning anxiety, processing grief, and adjusting to the pressures of newfound independence.

  • Families & Parents: Through Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT), I coach parents to become the primary agents of change in their child’s life, strengthening the bond and reducing household stress.

My Approach

I believe that the relationship is the most important tool in the room. I lead with unconditional positive regard, creating a safe “container” where growth happens naturally. Whether we are on the floor playing with sand and figures or sitting together navigating the complexities of grief and loss, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are today.
