She da best!

Reviewed March 2021

Tamara Nixon is the first therapist that I feel really took interest in me, on a deeper level. Other therapists I went to were focused mainly on my problems, but not at all on my personal interests and hobbies and I feel this is really important in them understanding my personality and my likes/dislikes. Also I appreciate that she is proactive and she sends me things to read and worksheets to work on. I really feel safe with telling her about my issues.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts. I am also a certified School Adjustment and Guidance Counselor. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults for more than 10 years. I have experience with a variety of mental health and personal issues such as depressive symptoms, symptoms of anxiety and panic, stress management, post-secondary planning as well as other disorders, including executive functioning deficits/ADHD, cognitive disorders, and Autism/Asperger's Syndrome.

I believe in the following therapeutic approaches: client-centered, solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as mindfulness. Together we can see which method is best for you. I am available to help you utilize your strengths in the areas of your life you are hoping to improve. I utilize a positive approach in counseling and hope to empower you to create goals as well as help resolve your current challenges.

If you are ready to follow a new path with my support and guidance, we can work together to find ways to improve your emotional and personal well-being. I look forward to hearing from you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
