Tamara’s Clinical Interests

For the most part, she draws upon a variety of theoretical frameworks, which include:

Identifying how thoughts and beliefs impact behavior (CBT).
Examining how past experiences (positive and negative/traumatic) have shaped coping methods.
Developing insight and increasing self-management skills/(DBT).
Learning breathing/muscle relaxation to reduce acute distress.

The skills and medications she utilizes are based on research and have proven effective for hundreds of clients. She is an expert in assisting clients who present with difficulties that range from everyday stress, such as relationship issues, life transitions, and grief, to coping with job or academic stress.

She is also able to provide expert medical care for more complex conditions, such as those suffering from deep depression, ADHD, suicidal thinking, erratic mood swings, panic attacks, obsessions/compulsions, symptoms relating to past trauma, and substance abuse.
