Hello and Welcome!
Congratulations on taking action! My name is Tammy Murphy. I am a Licensed Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience! I currently have the pleasure of working with motivated clients ALL OVER California through my teletherapy practice. Since I transitioned to online therapy several years ago, I have been amazed at how effective this new platform can be! I am pleased to conclude that my clients love it too! People enjoy the convenience of having their sessions in the comfort of their own homes (with their beloved pets, a good cup of coffee, and their favorite cozy chair)! Clients also appreciate sessions on the go through the use of their mobile phones! It’s like taking time out in the middle of a busy day to reflect and reset. Dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress can be overwhelming. Therapy provides the support necessary for people to get on with the business of life so they can re-focus on what really matters!
Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings including private practice, county agencies, nonprofits, school districts, and even wilderness/adventure-based therapies. I have loved them all! My therapeutic approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and engaging! I utilize an array of evidence-based practices along with humor! I believe it is the brightest and bravest among us who know when it's time to reach out. I also believe that most of us have a sense of what we need to do differently to improve our lives. The real question is what gets in the way of doing it? Together we can explore barriers, learn new skills, and take small but necessary steps toward reaching your life goals. After all, the most important investment you will ever make is in YOU!
I look forward to working with you!
Cheers!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Tammy is the best.
Tammy has helped me tremendously in the past 5 months I have been working with her. She is a great listener and has given me great strategies to help me manage my anxiety and depression.
Tammy has been wonderful to work with.
I think I have changed as a person and know myself better thanks to the awesome support I get from Tammy. With her guidance, I have created new habits that are helping me overcome my anxiety and depression. She listens to my problems and shows genuine care to help me overcome them. She is awesome at remembering conversations we have and it means a lot to know that she is giving me her undivided attention. She is very professional, friendly, and easy to talk to. I really needed someone to make me accountable and I feel she is the right person for that. Every week, I look forward to working with her to keep improving. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have her as my counselor. Thanks for everything Tammy!
Tammy is amazing! She’s so patient, kind, and a great listener. The kind of person you feel you could share everything with and know she won’t judge you. So thankful I’m able to work with her!
Tammy has been incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive
Tammy is understanding and provides logical advice or solutions. She is quick to recognize and praise improvement. After only a couple weeks, I feel significantly less frantic and have seen my friends/family express relief over my improved mental state.
tammy has listened to my story and has been very supportive and empathetic to my situation...which is exactly what i needed to start getting back on track.
I was assigned to Tammy at the start of my membership. I wasn't sure exactly what I was getting into since teletherapy is a generally new concept. Tammy has blown my expectations out of the water. She is extremely sweet, very supportive, and listens to every concern. She responds quickly to any messages I leave and is communicative about everything. Tammy has really helped me.
Tammy is wonderful.
Tammy is great at rerouting our conversations back to what I have wanted to work on, but always lets me talk out whatever is on my mind. She keeps track of things I’ve brought up and provides worksheets and coping skills. She’s very flexible with her schedule and mine. She’s been great to work with, and is very understanding.
She has been a tremendous help at an extremely difficult time. It really made a big difference in me handling my life challenges better
Tammy is down to earth, kind-hearted, and has great advice. I wish I could talk to her everyday. I would recommend her to my friends if I could.
Tammy is great. Excellent listener and provides creative ways to help me deal with my work stress.
