Tamara Sautter

I work exclusively with adult women, with a focus on maternal and perinatal mental health. I graduated with honors from NC State University (NCSU) with a Bachelors in Psychology and Master of Social Work. I've worked in various settings such as crisis centers, in-patient psychiatric hospital, residential treatment facility, schools, community field work, and private practice providing therapy for children, adolescents, families, and adults since 2012. I'm trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and achieved my Perinatal Mental Health Certificate (PMH-C).

I use a variety of evidence-based models for an eclectic approach including dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye-movement desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR), and a strength-based approach to provide a collaborative experience. I have a passion for helping women struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, spiritual deconstruction, LGBTQ+ identities, chronic illness, stress, emotion regulation, life transitions, and other mental health experiences.

I take time to build strong relationships with each client to form a strong therapeutic rapport and understand their backgrounds, needs, and goals. I focus on creating a safe environment to effectively process thoughts and emotions. I help you develop healthier thought processes and coping skills. I acknowledge that therapy looks different for everyone and I look forward to collaborating with you to meet your personal counseling needs and goals in order to create balance, health, and peace.
