More about Tamolyn

  • 18 years' experience
  • Female
  • Psychologist

I have a Masters degree in Counseling and hold a current License with the Minnesota Board of Psychology.

My approach in working with people is to try to help them understand how thoughts, behaviors and emotions interact and to look for ways to re-think the situation, create new behaviors, and to improve their emotional state to allow for better coping mechanisms.

I like to work together to define the issues and establish goals toward resolving them.

Along the way we would keep checking in about the difficult emotions that may come up during the process and look for ways to deal with them.

I also like to help people look for ways that they can use what is being learned here to help when other life issues arise (as they always do!).

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.

Tamolyn has offered a lot of advice to me in ways that I could change things in my life to help make things easier. I was struggling internally and it was starting to show externally to the point where I couldn't really deal with it alone anymore. Tamolyn has been an important key in helping me overcome some of the anxiety and stress I've been dealing with and has been easy to talk to. I appreciate the texting platform greatly since my life is so busy as it is. She has offered helpful resources as well as advice and I appreciate that too.
