Tamara has helped me keep my head above water for over a year. She was my crutch on a journey I wasn’t happy to be on but I had no choice. A lifesaver.

I have been working with Tamara for almost 2-years and she has aided me in dealing with grief from the death of my wife and generational trauma within my family. This work has allowed me to move forward in my personal relationships and mend fences with some family members I had not spoken to in years. I can't thank her enough for all of her help.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas. I've worked as a Social Worker for the past 9 years. Most of my experience has been in hospice and end-of-life settings.

My counseling style works towards the goal of creating a safe and open space with my clients. Your treatment will be specific to you and your needs to empower you to make positive changes. I'm here to help you through this journey.

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.

Tamara makes me feel calmer and like I’m having a normal response to my problems
Tamara has made a material difference in my life. I look forward to speaking with her, and I always feel better after we speak. She’s so attentive, and frankly a godsend. I don’t know how she does it all and helps so many people. Tamara walks through my emotions with me, and helps me process the why. She’s so open, and I never feel like I’m being judged and can communicate in a way that’s effective for me. I’ve come to look forward to therapy after being a skeptic for years. Tamara is an amazing therapist and individual. I feel so blessed she found this calling in life.
Tamara let’s me vent, responds with helpful thoughts and makes me feel I am not alone.
I have ONLY had a "virtual" relationship with Tamara so far. THIS IS TOTALLY my doing and/or my fault - NOT HERs! However, Tamara has read ALL my journal entries, responded to them, and I feel comfortable ALREADTY with her as my therapist! She has also been persistent in getting me to RESCHEDULE my appts. every time I have canceled, so I know she CARES! RIGHT? I really LOVE how my therapist can "see me here" through my journal entries I write - WHENEVER I feel the need! I have and will CONTINUE to recommend betterhelp to ALL I KNOW who seel therapy!
Tamara listens to me and helps me sort through my problems
Tamara has been great helping me through my grief following the death of my wife. She has supported me through some pretty dark times.
She has helped through so much and continues to do so!
She's been a great help to me at a crucial time in my life. Talking with her feels like talking with a mom. She's a great listener!
Tamara was there for me and always listened to my concerns. I’ve a pretty short duration of weekly calls, I was able to find myself again and do the things that work best for me. Tamara was always attentive and flexible with the calls and always was there for me!
Tamara really helps me through bad days and makes me feel better about myself.
Tamara is kind, warm, engaging, comforting, and wise. She is a great listener. I feel hopeful and empowered after each of our sessions. I have put therapy off for years but I'm so happy with my decision to start.
Great!
Tamara really listens to everything I have to say. She offers great advice, coping mechanisms and worksheets to help. She talks about different outlets I could use to help with stress and my overall mental health. I highly recommend her! She’s very easy to talk to and always there to help.
