Getting to know Tamala Dietrich

Hi there, I'm Tamala! Are there times you feel like you keep repeating patterns? Or times when you feel like you cannot shake free from feelings of overwhelm or stagnant repetition? My passion is to help clients reach their potential by uncovering what makes them feel trapped in life. Together we can uncover what and where that blockage originates. My focus I work with adults and teens that experience anxiety or depression that may have or still be experiencing trauma, chronic illness, or difficult life situations and transitions. We will uncover what drives your symptoms and build skills to cope and engage fully in your life. My approach I adjust my approach to my clients needs by utilizing techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (including trauma focused), solution focused therapy, or Emotional Freedom Technique ("tapping). I root a lot of my work in mindfulness and self awareness. I also like to incorporate some non-traditional approaches such as shadow or dream work. My communication style I am a supportive and empathic listener with a gentle and compassionate approach. I do utilize humor when appropriate, as I believe that laughter and smiles can be a medicine of their own. My journey to mental healthcare The earliest part of my journey began with an ABC's of the Human Mind book I discovered on my grandmother's extensive bookshelf. I became fascinated with human behavior and psychology and later wanted to focus on helping others heal. My first work as a therapist was with children that experienced severe trauma and the welfare system. My goals for you We don't move forward until you feel that you are ready, as I am supporting your journey and not leading from the front. I will pay attention to your cues and when I provide suggestions or reflections it is always with your readiness in mind. We will set goals that are mutable based on your needs and growth.
