More about Tamara

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I have over 14 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker and more than 20 years working with families. I know the importance of finding a therapist who is a good fit. My focus is providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for adults, couples, and families. Utilizing a combination of theoretical approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, client centered therapy and motivational interviewing, I collaborate with you to meet you where you are. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, anger, relationship issues, parenting concerns, and career challenges.

I also understand how personal and sometimes overwhelming the therapeutic process can be. Please know that I am dedicated to helping you when you are ready.

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.
