Therapist for Leaders, Clinical Supervisor, & Wellness Consultant
Healing Begins with Honest Connection
Walking with leaders, couples, and families toward healing, clarity and legacy
Hi, I’m Taran
— a licensed therapist, supervisor, and founder. I help high-achieving professionals, couples, and clinicians break generational cycles, heal deeply, and step into legacy-driven lives.
You've carried the weight of leadership and responsibility, often at the expense of your own peace and healing. I see you. You're not alone—and you don’t have to keep surviving just to make it through another day.
I created this practice to give high-impact professionals, couples, and creatives a space to pause, process, and be truly known. My work centers on helping you unpack generational wounds, shift relational dynamics, and step into emotional freedom—so you can lead, love, and live with intention.
Let’s Redefine What Healing Can Look Like.
My clients are purpose-driven people. They’re CEOs, therapists, entrepreneurs, parents, and creatives. They’re leaders in public, but often hurting in private. Whether it’s navigating trauma, burnout, grief, conflict, or transition — therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s custom care. Grounded in research. Led with discernment and wisdom.
Together, we will engage in collaborative efforts aimed at deepening your understanding of yourself and others, ultimately guiding you toward a life of genuine fulfillment.
It is my profound honor to offer you unwavering support, consistency, warmth, and guidance as we navigate the highs and lows that life presents.
About Taran
Taran McGowen is a trusted therapist, educator, and advisor known for creating spaces where high-impact individuals can be fully seen, known, and supported. As a former collegiate cheerleader and wife of a collegiate basketball player, she understands the weight of performance, visibility, and expectations — both personally and professionally. Her early work in the entertainment industry sharpened her skills in marketing, contract negotiation, and talent relations, but it was her deep empathy and calling to help others heal that led her into counseling.
Taran is the founder of Thrive House Wellness, a group practice in Irving, Texas, offering therapy, clinical supervision, and consulting. She is especially passionate about helping high-achieving professionals, athletes, and creatives navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and the invisible costs of success.
Taran is currently pursuing her PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at the University of North Texas. When she's not seeing clients or training future therapists, she's traveling with her husband Jordan and their two children, Rhian and Jordan Jr., building a life of faith, freedom, and family.
What You can expect in therapy
Tailored, Not Template Based
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. You’re not generic—and neither is your healing. I work closely with each client to craft an experience that honors your story, adapts to your needs, and helps you move forward with clarity.
A Space to be Unfiltered and Unapologetic
This is your space to be real. To say what you’re actually thinking, without managing anyone else’s reaction. I welcome your full self—strong, vulnerable, uncertain, ambitious. All of you is safe here.
Growth That Sharpens, Not Just Soothes
Therapy with me isn’t about staying stuck in what’s hard—it’s about creating a shift. I walk alongside you as you examine what’s been holding you back, untangle intergenerational wounds, and rewire patterns so you can move in freedom.
my guiding principles
CONNECTION
A strong therapeutic relationship is foundational to everything. Genuine trust creates the safety needed for deep work—and for you to be fully seen and supported.
EMPATHIC PRECISION
I don’t just listen—I attune. I lean into what’s being said, and what isn’t. This helps me respond with accuracy, compassion, and clarity to what you’re truly navigating.
DISCRETION & PROTECTION
Confidentiality isn’t a formality—it’s a cornerstone. My clients include leaders, executives, and public figures. Your privacy is protected with the highest level of care.
TRUTH
Honesty is sacred here. I will always be real with you, and I’ll invite you to do the same. The truth—spoken in love—is the beginning of transformation.
