MEET TARIN SNIDER
LMHCA, RESIDENT THERAPIST
I believe that every person who enters the therapy space is capable of discovering the solutions they need to heal and grow. Our thoughts, emotions, relationships, health, culture, life experiences, and values all interact to inform how we move through the world. My approach is holistic, recognizing that meaningful and lasting change often comes from understanding the whole person rather than focusing on symptoms alone. Rather than making assumptions, I strive to understand how your identities, relationships, values, and communities shape your story and work collaboratively to provide care that honors those experiences.

MY JOURNEY
I've always been drawn to understanding people and the unique experiences that shape their lives. That curiosity inspired me to pursue a career in counseling at a young age. My own path has been anything but linear, which fostered a clinical interest in identity exploration, life transitions, and the ways people make meaning of their experiences.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (now Indiana University Indianapolis) after beginning my undergraduate education at Valparaiso University. I also earned my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ball State University, where I completed my clinical internship at Indiana University Indianapolis Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).
APPROACH & STYLE
I provide therapy services for adults (18+) and couples. My work is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and person-centered principles. Together, we'll develop greater awareness of your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behavioral patterns — not to eliminate uncomfortable experiences, but to understand them with greater clarity and self-compassion. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, stress, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you cultivate a deeper connection with yourself and the people who matter most. Together, we can create space for healing, meaningful change, and a life that feels more grounded, intentional, and authentic.

OUTSIDE THE OFFICE
In my free time I enjoy walking the local trails and hiking with my partner. Other times you will find me searching the stacks of local bookstores. Fun Fact: My partner and I own at least one copy of every Stephen King novel!
