Getting to know Tamara Thomas
Congratulations on taking this step toward healing. As a Black woman and first-generation American from NYC, I know firsthand how hard it can be to trust a stranger with your vulnerability.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University and have spent ten years working in the social work field in various settings with diverse populations throughout NYC. I offer a flexible and creative approach that integrates cultural competence, holistic perspectives, and evidence-based techniques for holistic well-being. When addressing mental health concerns, I incorporate both medical and holistic viewpoints, recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In sessions, I tend to use CBT, DBT, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based, and Psychodynamic approaches, tailoring them to each client's unique needs. I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where individuals from the BIPOC community and all other backgrounds feel heard, understood, and valued. Whether unpacking past trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, or simply seeking guidance in finding your authentic self, I'm here to support you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Your healing journey will not always feel great, as it may involve challenges accountability, and work beyond sessions, but together, we'll explore strengths and coping strategies to foster positive changes. My goal is to help empower you to harness your inner resources, cultivate resilience and guide you toward becoming the best version of you.

For the first time seeing a psychologist, I felt comfortable, not what I thought it would be. I felt like I was in a safe space.

Coming into therapy I did not know what to expect and I am pleased with my decision. I was worried I would not connect but it was instant with Tamara. She is sincere, patient and I have a few friends who could use her support and experience.

Tamara was very easy to open up to. She gave me a space to expand myself and goals to work on prior to our next session. I wish I could pt her in my pocket so I can have daily access instead of weekly
