About me

Hi! My name is Tammy. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Florida (US) with a positive and hopeful outlook! I have over 20 years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, social behavior, and crisis counseling. As well as trauma related issues, sexuality and work related concerns.

I have a sense of humor and maintain a hope for the future. It is an honor to work with another person, to gain their trust and help them figure out what's going well, what is causing concern or distress, and to help them find small steps toward a resolution and personal growth.
The first few sessions start out with a person-centered therapy approach. However, the information collected in the first few sessions may lead to a better suited theory. I feel that issues like depression or anxiety can be helped with cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT has also been great when working with adolescents who struggle with aggression and conduct disorders. I find dialectical behavior therapy techniques to be useful in a counseling setting as well. My counseling style and approach really depends on the client and what best fits the situation. Person-centered therapy, CBT, and DBT have been my main approach and style.
My clients typically meet with me once weekly for 45 minutes. We begin by building rapport and learning about the issues that brought them to seek counseling. It is important to establish a trusting, ethical, therapeutic relationship by form of congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathy in the beginning. Sometimes a person-centered approach leads the client to discover the answers for themselves. My counseling style is primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Brief Solution Focused Therapy so we can develop a plan to help you feel better as soon as possible. Most of the time you will have "homework", which will allow you to identify core beliefs and change the way you feel. We can do short extra sessions during the week, especially during your first month or two, to be sure you have a good foundation for getting your goals met.

Whether you are seeking change for a healthier happier life, or just need a non judgmental ear to listen, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! Getting to know yourself, take good care of yourself and live well day to day creates more of an ease in life, and affords you time and a place to resolve deeper issues or past trauma.

Even though it hasn’t been that long since I started therapy with her, she’s been of great help so far. Good listener and very considerate! Can’t wait to learn more from her and take my first step towards being a more confident person!

Tammy has been an exceptional therapist so far. I love working with her as she helps me get to the root of my problems. She helps me acknowledge new goals for myself weekly. Tammy continues to be interested in what I have to say and continues to work towards giving me the tools and techniques to better understand myself.

Tammy is a wonderful listener and down to earth. She is able to see through the issues that I share and break it down to root causes that help me understand my feelings and reactions. She provides me with tools to educate myself and takes a mindful slower process with me when I am facing a challenge. I highly recommend her services, better help is lucky to have her.

Ms.Tammy is a very good listener, and she makes me feel heard. She has shared some great advice with me to help me on my journey. We are a couple session in, and she have given me some confidence in my abilities to make decisions that will help me in my life.

It's a great feeling to have a therapist who listens to our problems and offer suggestions and her knowledge in psychiatric concerns to my mental health helped me have more knowledge on my condition.
