About Me

Tara Harkins, LCSW, CCATP

Psychotherapist, Founder, and Director of Tara Harkins Psychotherapy a counseling and therapy practice in Oradell, NJ.

As a former corporate professional at a demanding career, and a self proclaimed over achiever, I know firsthand how stress, anxiety, and depression can interfere with life. As a psychotherapist that specializes in treating stress, anxiety, depression, and maternal mental health I can help you to reduce anxiety, find balance, and learn healthy coping skills.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), which means I work with people in their social environment. I look at the big picture of your life to understand all the circumstances and situations that contribute to your current struggles. I am also specially certified to treat anxiety disorders (CCATP) and issues related to maternal mental health.

I’m in network with Aetna,

Cigna and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield. I am an out of network provider for every type of insurance. If I am not in network with your insurance I can provide you with an invoice that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. I also offer a Sliding Scale based on financial need and/or special circumstances.

My office is conveniently located in Oradell right in the heart of Bergen County. It is a pleasant and comfortable office located close to many neighboring towns like Paramus, Emerson, Westwood, Washington Township, River Edge, Haworth, New Milford and Dumont.

Everyone tells me I’m easy to work with and I laugh a lot and put them immediately at ease. I guess that’s a plus for an Anxiety Specialist! There is nothing as comforting as talking to someone who understands what you are going through and how to help.
