Tara Ferguson
I have heard such wonderful things about Aggieland and am so happy to be a part of the diverse A&M community
for the next year! I enjoy working with students as they transition through this critical period in their
lives. The college years are such a crucial time for learning and self-definition and I am grateful for the
opportunity to help people make these important discoveries about themselves and the world. What an honor it
is to be a part of this journey! When working with students, I direct a lot of energy toward creating a safe
environment for exploration and I take a collaborative approach to problem solving. My goal is to help
students better understand their relationships and emotional reactions and build the skills necessary to
manage the various hardships they may encounter in their lives. It is also important that I get to know
students' strengths, hopes and dreams as well as I know their problems. On a more personal note, I am a
curious and energetic individual who is passionate about psychology and life in general. My hobbies include
artistic pursuits, football games, and just about anything in nature, especially traveling to explore new,
beautiful places with family and friends.
