Tamara Johnson

Living with a chronic illness can take a toll on your energy, your relationships, and your sense of who you are, even on days when you're doing everything right. I'm Tamara, a

licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience in medical social work across primary care, women's health, substance use treatment, and work with individuals experiencing homelessness. I bring that same steady, practical support into therapy, helping clients manage chronic illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress,

and relationship strain. I'm also a board-approved clinical supervisor in Mississippi and love mentoring new clinicians. If you're ready for support that meets you where you are, I'd love to connect.

No single approach ts every client, so I draw from a mix of modalities. Most often that means solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), including

trauma focused CBT, blended with mindfulness based techniques. For couples and families working through relationship issues, I also use solution focused couples

therapy and cognitive behavioral family therapy.

Your rst session is easy and low pressure. My goal is to help you feel comfortable right away so we can gure out together if we are a good t to continue working together. I will ask a series of questions to get a full picture of what is going on and why you are seeking therapy, and we will talk through the goals you want to focus on. By the end, you should feel heard, with a clear sense of what our work together will look like going forward.
