About Concho Valley Counseling

Greetings! Welcome to Concho Valley Counseling. I am Tara Joiner, an ACT Certified Cognitive Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years’ experience in the mental health field. Concho Valley Counseling is a private counseling practice located in downtown San Angelo, right next door to the Tom Green Co. Central Library. I specialize in treating Anxiety Disorders (such as GAD and Social Anxiety), OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and related disorders), and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I incorporate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques into CBT. I use Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma. CBT and CPT are backed by empirically research and proven to work. I also provide couples counseling and am Level 1 trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. As someone who has OCD, I have a unique preparedness and sensitivity for working with OCD sufferers. I want to help spread the message that treatment for OCD not only exists, it has a high success rate, and relief is possible. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the gold standard treatment for OCD. The opportunity to help a fellow sufferer move beyond OCD's agony to a place of hope and healing is something I find deeply rewarding. By and large, my passion is helping ambitious individuals overcome self-limiting and joy-sucking fear. What if fear no longer dictated your choices, rather you did? And you could choose your actions based on what is meaningful, valuable, and desirable to you? I want to help you find the courage to do this; to show up and be seen; to step outside of your comfort zone and stop living small. A profound ease awaits when we learn to walk inside our story, drop the masks, lean into our fears, and live wholeheartedly and authentically.
