Tamara Watkins, a licensed professional counselor with a PhD, recognizes that whether individuals are children, adolescents, or adults, they face peaks, valleys, and plateaus in life that can bring about pain, confusion, distress, and even joy. The therapeutic experience she offers is centered around journeying through those significant moments and learning to integrate life events into one's understanding of self. She encourages clients to effectively communicate that understanding to others and develop toward their ideals. Tamara is honored to walk alongside those willing to embark on this transformative journey. Individuals, couples, and families can benefit from her expertise in managing depression, anxiety, and other mood issues, healing from grief and loss, processing traumas, resolving marriage and family issues, exploring spirituality, and addressing a myriad of other symptoms. Additionally, she is a certified DreamBuilder life coach. Depending on what works best for each client, her approach may include exploring the connections between past and present experiences, learning techniques to reduce anxiety and trauma symptoms, linking emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, improving organizational skills, developing healthier communication, and integrating spiritual practices into therapy.
