Getting to know Tamara Nelson
Hi there!
I’m Tamara Nelson (she/her)! I am a first-generation American with family roots in Barbados and Jamaica. I graduated from the University of Central Florida (UCF) in May 2014 with a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Counselor Education-Mental Health Counseling track. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with the state of Florida, Qualified Supervisor (QS), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I have extensive experience working with primary and secondary survivors of sexual trauma, abuse, and other traumatic circumstances. My professional experience also includes working with substance use disorders, HIV/AIDS population, LGBTQ+ community, college mental health, religious/spiritual concerns, and concerns specific to the Black community and other communities of color.
I specialize in supporting adults from Black/African American and other communities of color who are seeking support for concerns related to sexual trauma and other various traumatic circumstances, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), race-based traumatic stress, multicultural concerns, and overall mental and emotional wellness.
What should a new client know about working with you?

As we work together, you can anticipate ongoing support, personalized strategies, and a safe, empathetic space to address challenges. Over time, we'll adapt and evolve our approach to best meet your evolving needs. When it's time to conclude therapy, we'll engage in a thoughtful termination process, celebrating your growth and ensuring you feel equipped for the future.

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.
