Tammi is great. She doesn’t let me just talk nonsense- she digs into the real issues. She doesn’t waffle on either, she always asks me searching questions.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Tammi is a true professional. She cares. She is real. Honest. And very empathetic. Her ability to engage in an open manner and offer feedback for me is an invaluable asset. Her knowledge and opinions are spot on. It’s been a difficult time but Tammi has been the key to moving forward.

Tammi is awesome! She is not your typical counselor. She is very real. I have learned more from her than I have from previous counselors. I would highly recommend. Her experience is evident.
Tammi just gets it. She picked up on what makes me tick and every week I learn something new about myself that helps me understand why some of the stupid stuff that goes on in my head happens, how to handle it and how to recognize and avoid it before it happens. I've made real progress with Tammi.
Tammi has made such a difference in my life. Had I not had her help I’m pretty sure I would’ve lost all contact with my 19 year old daughter who chose to live with her father. She understands teenagers and moms of teenagers! So kind, wise, experienced, compassionate, and level headed, I can’t say enough good about her!!
AWESOME! Really enjoying the experience.
Tammi is great and gives me a lot of helpful tips!

Tammi is great. She helped me get through a tough time in my life. I enjoy talking with her and she really helped me focus on the key parts of the issue in a non-judgemental way. It is like she's looking into my brain and reading what's there. I can't say enough how great she is.
Tammi is awesome in every way. She helped me write out clear goals and expectations that I want to achieve through my healing process. She listened and responded in a carrying manner. She truly has a spirit for help others!
