Your Empow(HER)ment Therapist

Dr. Tara Rios Vega
DSW, LCSW-S, BC-TMH

Hi, I’m Dr. Rios Vega: licensed therapist, social worker, and the kind of clinician who keeps it real while holding you steady. I specialize in supporting women of color, millennial women, and high-functioning individuals who look like they “have it all together” but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or emotionally stuck behind the scenes.

Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, boundaries, and the pressure to be everything for everyone—while quietly neglecting themselves.

My approach is grounded in cultural humility, emotional safety, and evidence-based practice. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you unpack patterns, unlearn what no longer serves you, and build tools that actually work in real life (not just on paper).

Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and compassionate. We can laugh, get uncomfortable when needed, and move at a pace that honors your process. You don’t have to show up perfect—you just have to show up.

If you’re ready to feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with who you truly are, I’d be honored to support you.
