Great to meet you!

Hello there, i'm Tamara Nelson! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with the state of Florida, Qualified Supervisor (QS), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

My areas of speciality include trauma and abuse recovery, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), religious/spiritual concerns, race-based traumatic stress, depressive and anxiety disorders, and multicultural concerns.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I operate from the belief that every individual has the capacity for healing and personal growth. I work in collaboration with my clients to help them gain insight into their concerns and develop a plan to achieve their goals. My therapeutic approach includes person-centered, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, you can anticipate a safe and empathetic space where your thoughts and emotions are valued. Together, we'll explore your unique journey, focusing on understanding and healing. My goal is to empower you with practical tools to navigate life's challenges, foster resilience, and cultivate a renewed sense of well-being. I'm dedicated to supporting you in building a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
