Getting to know Tamara Garner

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who has worked in the Mental Health field for 15 years. I love seeing my client/s have those AHA! Moments in therapy, when things click and they are able to move forward into healing and wellness. I feel my role is to help you become more insightful of who you are, and how you got there, and support you in creating the changes to get you where you would like to be. My approach My theoretical approach is dependent on the individual, couple, or group and their needs. I use CBT, Solution Focused, and Family Systems primarily, but have knowledge of other theories. My graduate studies were completed in the faith-based institute of education, which also gives me a foundation in Christian counseling, which that is something you are wanting to incorporate into your therapy. My focus I enjoy working with adults, couples, and groups. My specialties are with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, couples relationships and communication, and pre-marital. My communication style I want to provide a safe, relaxed environment where the client/s feel accepted, heard, and understood while working together to meet their goals. My journey to mental healthcare Growing up, every career aptitude test I took suggested I would make a good counselor or a teacher. I have always been a good listener. After raising my children, I finally had a chance to finish school and get my master’s degree and enter the field. I love working with people in a way that allows them to discover how to understand their thoughts and behaviors and make changes that work for them to heal from the hurts in life. My goals for you Within the first few sessions, we will assess the client's goals for therapy but allow leeway to modify they those goals as needed.
