“I finally found the peace and comfort i had hoped I would one day find.”
“Tara truly helped me so much through out my counseling journey and I’m extremely grateful.”
“I struggled for decades to overcome a traumatic experience. Over the years I saw several different counselors without any real change in my thought process or relief from my grief. I was certain the God didn’t desire for me to live carrying this burden but I just didn’t know how to lay it down. Tara was recommended to me by a close friend whose family had benefitted from time with her. I was leery to start the process of unpacking my story to another counselor but relented to try again. I could not be more grateful that I did. Tara’s no nonsense, honest and fact driven focus really had me see my situation in a way I had never before. After a session where she used guided visualization through a scenario of my trauma I had breakthrough. I finally found the peace and comfort i had hoped I would one day find. Even today, when I find my mind wandering back to dark thoughts I use the visualization she gave me to pull myself back to reality and truth. I would recommend Tara at King of Hearts to anyone seeking to live the life they were meant to and wants to undo the knots of their past. Tara has a unique insight and a real gift of discerning the deep rooted issues under the surface. Thanks to her counseling, I have really stepped into a new chapter of my life marked by a much clearer thought process and healthy use of boundaries.”

“Gina and I thank you. You are and have been a great blessing to our lives. Thank you for helping us through a most difficult time. You have imparted such wisdom and understanding these past three years. I have come to know the kindness, concern, and compassion you extend to those of us with mental and emotional difficulties. You are a wonderful gift from God for the body of Christ. When Gina had a mental breakdown because of the diagnosis with breast cancer, it was you who helped me to see that she just could not shake the delusions and anxieties she was experiencing. You also encouraged us to seek help in working with Dr. Nwobi who kept adjusting her meds until she was stable, whereas the other psychiatrists just wanted to give more and more meds to the degree where she was not functioning. Thank you! Then one day you were able to help Gina realize that she might never be able to shake these fixed delusions and you asked her if she could deal with that the rest of her life. She cried but accepted it. But she still remained detached and depressed. Gina's greatest change occured when you were able to confront her with her relationship with Jesus Christ. Your recommendation to me to find a good church, where her soul would be nurtured, was the key to a major pivotal change in both her heart and her mind. The church we now attend, has truly been a tremendous blessing to her soul. In the past few months, she has become more engaging than ever before. Her verbal skills have multiplied along with a joy that we have not seen in years. During the church services, she participates. She sings, raises her hands in praise to the Lord, and goes for prayer. She never partook like she now does. Thank you! Thank you for teaching me how to engage and validate her thoughts that are so real to her. Your wise council has been invaluable to both of us. I have changed as well as Gina, and her response is so beautiful. Thank you!
With a grateful heart,”

“I am forever grateful for Dr. King and I would very very very strongly recommend her to any and all who are in need of therapy.”
“I was addicted to Percocet for 3 or 4 years. I had gotten to a place where I was really unable to do much besides focus on how many pills i had left and how soon I could get more. I knew I needed help so I sought therapy that was Christian-based. I had been through therapy for anxiety issues many years prior and that was a success, but I was less confident this time due to how all-consuming Percocet had become in my life. Dr. King provided the practical therapeutic steps and tools along with Prayer. Her confident understanding approach gave me the tools needed to succeed. Dr. King helped me to understand there was work I had to put in to be successful at overcoming my addiction. She taught me it was my responsibility to then protect that sobriety. I have been Percocet free for over 8 years. I am forever grateful for Dr. King and I would very very very strongly recommend her to any and all who are in need of therapy. ” — RK
