I am a mental health counselor licensed in Florida with working as a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, parenting problems, career challenges, ADHD, and quality of life interferring issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, dialectics, and eye-movement desensatization. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tami Skifstad. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Tami has truly been an amazing person to work with, I am so glad I found her through betterhelp. Each session with her never failed to provide me with new knowledge, more skills that I can apply to help myself, and I always logged off feeling such an air of support. I have seen so much progress in my life in such a short period of time. So long as you're ready for change, Tami is ready to help you.
