Tamara is amazing. She has helped me navigate one of hard times of my life. She was able to very gently and slowly showed me that I was in an abusive relationship and how stand up to my abuser. She listens and is very insightful

Tamara has been insightful, empathetic, and honest. She’s helped me through love sessions and sending me resources between sessions. She is a kind listener who responds with integrity and has made me feel like I can open up parts of me to heal my past as well. I will continue to use her services, and recommend trying her if she is matched with you. She’s been a great fit for my therapy needs.

An amazing listener and truly tries to understand her patients and their needs. Never pushes other therapies if patient isnt interested in those outlets and tries to find alternatives to fit their needs! They make their patients feel heard and will ask questions to further clarify as a way to better understand the situation/thought processes of patient.

She has been a knowledgeable and caring confidant for me in a time that has been fairly dark and confusing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional listening ear to talk through your own troubles!

Tamara is the best counselor/therapist I've ever had and I've had quite a few. She's so understanding and non judgemental! She's helped me more in a month than all of my past therapists combined. She has a wealth of knowledge that I am beyond thankful for. She has greatly improved my life already.

She’s awesome
Written on Apr 30, 2021 after therapy with Tamara for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, self esteem, coping with life changes, and adhd
I've had two phone counseling sessions with Tamara and they have been extremely low stress and pleasant. She has an absolute wealth of knowledge on how to approach the various issues I've been seeking help for and is an extremely comforting and calm therapist to speak to. She has also offered me worksheets and given me things to think about throughout the weeks and these have helped me progress immensely. I thought talking to someone about my mental health would be extremely stressful and upsetting, but with Tamara it hasn't been, and even my most emotional conversations left me feelings more free than worked up. She is extremely talented and caring and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone else struggling with issues similar to my own.
