Biography for Tara McLaughlin, CHt

Tara McLaughlin is a Certified Hypnotherapist specializing in anxiety, ADHD, mind-body healing, attachment patterns, and parts work. Helping your nervous system release old stress and feel safe, steady, and in control again.

Tara’s experience includes working with clients navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and mind-body stress patterns. She integrates clinical hypnotherapy with attachment-based care and parts-informed approaches to support nervous-system regulation, emotional safety, and lasting internal change.

Her sessions are structured yet flexible, allowing clients to engage the subconscious in a way that feels collaborative, respectful, and empowering. Tara emphasizes consent, pacing, and nervous-system readiness, creating an environment where protective patterns can be explored without pressure or force.

She draws on her training at the Hypnosis Motivation Institute alongside practical, real-world application to help clients understand habitual emotional responses, resolve internal conflicts, and develop healthier relational and self-regulation patterns.

Through continued study and ongoing clinical practice, Tara refines her work to support sustainable results, long-term integration, and ethical, client-centered care. She remains committed to creating a calm, supportive environment where individuals feel safe to heal, grow, and reconnect with their internal stability.
