Empowerment Health Services - Dr. Tara Power, Clinical Psychologist.
Dr. Tara Power is a doctoral level Clinical Health Psychologist specializing in issues that relate to both physical and psychological health and wellness. A broad range of evidence-based therapy is available for individual adults and couples. Practicing out of EmPOWERment Health, in downtown Truro, Dr. Power’s practice offers a relaxed, comfortable setting in a large and beautiful heritage house.
Because our desire is to empower the individual, couple or family, treatment usually involves a limited number of sessions. We work collaboratively with clients, and other health professionals to ensure that all psychological, social and physical treatments complement each other. In order for work done in sessions to be translated to life outside of the therapy room, clients can expect to be asked to participate in therapy through work done at home between therapy sessions.
Echo Stables Counselling Services is located in Elmsdale, Nova Scotia. We offer innovative therapy for children, adolescents and adults. Referrals are accepted for both office-based counselling and Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy.

I am a registered clinical psychologist with extensive experience working with adults ages 19 years and older. I have had the privilege of working in many different settings, including hospital, community mental health, school, university and private practice. My goal is to ensure a safe, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I believe that such a relationship facilitates healing and meaningful growth, as clients explore ways to cope and deal with life's challenges.The process of therapy fosters a safe environment that allows individuals to have the courage to be vulnerable, to become more self-aware, and to maintain a healing frame of mind. My philosophy of working with people includes integrating contemplative, humanistic and empirically-based approaches with the goal of providing the most professional, respectful, individualized care for people with whom I work.
