Getting to know Tamara McKernan

Hi, I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Hunter College, City University of New York, and have been in the field for over two decades. Over the years, I've cultivated expertise in working with both young adults and adults. I am dedicated to providing a safe and affirming space for all clients. In my practice, I hold the firm belief that trust and relationships are integral components of the recovery journey. I strive to create an atmosphere of acceptance, respect, and empathy, where you can openly explore your concerns and work toward positive change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I like to meet people where they are at, what brings them to therapy now and help them move toward their goals, often by helping break old patterns that are not helpful or holding them back from their potential.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
