I am Tammy a clinical counselor specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am licensed in Ohio with over 20 years of experience working in the mental health and addiction field. I became a counselor for many reasons and one of those is a profound early loss of my mother. I learned along the way that anything is possible and to persevere through it all as hope comes a long way!
I have worked with clients that have a wide range of concerns depression, anxiety, relationship issues, gender, addictions, family systems, Bipolar Disorder, psychosis, crisis, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD.
I have a special place in my heart for those who have experienced trauma, addiction, and gender-related issues.
My therapy style is warm, humorous, gentle, kind, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels and actual get to the core of the issue.
