Getting to know Tamara Christman

Hi there, I'm Tamara! Welcome to therapy! I am excited to work with you, where you will find a compassionate and welcoming approach geared toward living your best life! Self-trust is my focus in my practice, and together, I'm confident we can help you get there! I see clients facing life transitions, trauma, disordered eating, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and enjoy working with clients who identify with the LGBTQ community. My approach I specialize in disordered eating treatment and have extensive training in this area. I also engage in trauma-based therapy, such as Internal Family Systems and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), to help you identify and reshape thought patterns that may no longer serve you in the present. I also provide couples' counseling using an Emotionally Focused (EFT) approach. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness, somatic work, and meditation. Your goals and progress toward self-trust are my primary focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence. My focus Whether you are working to manage negative thought patterns or a mean "inner critic" while navigating disordered eating concerns, mood instability, or anxiety, I am confident we can devise a plan to help you venture forth with more overall self-trust and empowerment. My communication style Within my practice, I like to prioritize clear, open communication in order to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. While I am direct in my approach with my clients, rest assured, you will receive compassion through rapport building when we start working together.
