Dr. Lindsey built Morningstar in 2018 around a simple idea: transformation doesn’t have to feel clinical — it can be human-first, engaging, and even a little joyful.

​

She works with high achievers because she is one (her professional and fitness CVs are, frankly, extensive) and because she’s deeply inspired by what driven people are capable of when they’re no longer burning themselves out to succeed. Her clients are often navigating anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout across academic, professional, and personal domains. They’re not struggling to perform — they’re questioning the cost of performing at such a high level, and looking for a more sustainable way forward.

​

And while the work is thoughtful and substantive, it’s also human — expect to laugh at yourself at least once per session… and to be asked about your dog.

Dr. Tara is a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist who plays a central role in Morningstar’s child, adolescent, and family services. She specializes in working with children and teens struggling with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, behavioral challenges, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and related developmental conditions.

​

Dr. Tara uses evidence-based therapies along with parent coaching and family collaboration to support and empower both children and caregivers. Her work emphasizes skill-building, emotional understanding, and helping families feel capable and supported throughout their journey — especially during moments that feel confusing or overwhelming. 

​

Dr. Tara has a rare gift: she makes kids actually want to come to therapy. She's also a mom of three — which means she talks to parents like a close friend who gets it.
