Getting to know Tamer Mostafa
Welcome! My name is Tamer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento. I have worked for nearly 10 years in various capacities such as refugee resettlement, disability rights, substance use recovery, community health, and LGBTQIA+-centered care. I am most excited about creative self-expression, and I believe in person-centered approaches to understand the powerful role that stories play in shaping our everyday lives. I also find tremendous value in working together to deconstruct how these stories show up in the context of anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma.
Seeking therapy is one of the most courageous steps you can take for yourself. Whether you want to heal past wounds, resolve conflict in your relationships, or better manage the stressors of life, therapy is the space where your goals and values are prioritized. It is where you can feel safe to be vulnerable and open. Because there is no singular way to engage in treatment, therapy does not conform to strict constructs, norms, or stereotypes. Rather, therapy is meant to reflect your authentic self and promote the innate power you hold. The right therapist should honor the nuances of your life’s journey while also helping explore the path forward that you want to lead.
In the words of Brené Brown, “Story stewardship means honoring the sacred nature of story—the ones we share and the ones we hear—and knowing that we’ve been entrusted with something valuable or that we have something that we should treat with respect and care.” I look forward to honoring your journey here, and your journey forward. Thank you so much!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My work as a therapist is influenced by a decolonial framework, meaning that our therapeutic journey is centered on your skills, knowledge, expertise, and resilience. I pay special attention not to reproduce oppressive or harmful practices that can occur in therapy and my commitment to intersectionality allows us to explore how all the unique facets of your identity are impacted by greater systemic forces. Furthermore, my work is rooted in Feminist, Critical Race, and Queer theories that allow us to uncover/analyze the assumptions you may hold within your lived experiences so that we can ultimately create new and affirming meaning for your life.
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.
