Best Tampa therapists near me

Hello! I am Taryn Witkowski, LCSW. I graduated with my masters from University of Southern California (USC) where I specialized in Children, Youth, and Families and School Social Work. I have 10+ years of experience working with individuals ages 5-25 experiencing mental health and behavioral struggles. Since the age of 14, I have been passionate about the behavioral health field. My education and experience in social work has confirmed and nurtured that passion. I truly believe that everyone has the power and potential to overcome challenges and take back control of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. My fulfillment comes from watching clients accomplish goals, overcome adversity, and grow into a version of themselves they once saw impossible! I strive to be a therapist that is dependable, trustworthy, friendly, and fun. I am most experienced working with those diagnosed with anxiety, depression, stress/adjustment disorders, and disruptive/impulse-control/conduct disorders.

I am deeply passionate about supporting teens and adults navigating trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, and/or relationship challenges. My approach focuses on creating a safe, supportive space where clients can build trust, explore their experiences, and develop coping strategies to foster healing and resilience. Collaboratively, we will identify your goals, and develop personalized strategies to enhance your wellbeing. I will help guide and support you through healing from the past, finding the balance you deserve, and becoming the best version of yourself.
