 Oak Creek Relational Counseling Center is delighted to welcome Desiree Tatarazuk to our team of therapists. “I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive, and sometimes even playful space,” Desiree shares. “My hope is to walk alongside clients as they navigate challenges, find clarity, and build stronger connections with themselves and others.” Desiree works with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. She brings compassion and creativity to her practice, drawing from approaches that honor each client’s story while fostering resilience, self-awareness, and growth. Whether a child is learning to express big emotions, a couple is working through conflict, or an individual is seeking support through a life transition, Desiree meets clients where they are with warmth and care. Desiree is supervised by Stephen Polin, LMFT #7861, and offers therapy through Oak Creek’s counseling program. We’re grateful to have her insight, dedication, and supportive presence on our team.
