Getting to know Dr. Tamara Savage

I strive to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment where we can collaboratively explore, understand, and clarify your feelings, as well as find more adaptive ways to cope and problem-solve the issues in your life. I believe that you can't truly understand someone's present world without understanding their past experiences and how those experiences are negatively or positively impacting their life now. In therapy, I can help you break out of old patterns that no longer serve you, improve coping alternatives and psychological flexibility, while concurrently providing concrete strategies for managing overwhelming feelings in the moment and the support and empathy you need to move forward. I have been practicing psychology and therapy for the past 30 years since receiving my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1993 from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I recently retired from my job of 21 years at the California State University Counseling Center so that I could better serve the clients with whom I work. Prior to my work at California State University, I also worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am a “true generalist” in every sense of the word and have experience and comfort working with many different types of individuals, couples, and issues. Some of my areas of expertise include: * Transitional-aged youth ages 18-35 * Relationship and interpersonal issues * Rape/sexual assault * Relationship abuse * Depression * Anxiety * Couples therapy * Sports psychology/performance enhancement * Processing childhood emotional and physical abuse * Life transitions * Parenting issues
