Tara Kalamchi, LICSW | Oncology & Autism Clinical Social Worker

Tara is a clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience supporting children, adults, and families through life’s challenges. She has spent much of her career working in oncology, helping people navigate cancer diagnoses, treatment, survivorship, grief, and major life transitions. She also has experience supporting young children on the autism spectrum and their families.

Tara holds a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University and draws from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy. She believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy and works collaboratively with each client to meet their individual needs and goals.

Tara is passionate about creating a warm, genuine, and nonjudgemental space where clients feel safe to be themselves. Alongside empathy and practical support, she believes humor can be an important part of the therapeutic process. When appropriate, she enjoys bringing lightness into sessions, recognizing that healing can make room for both difficult emotions and moments of laughter.
