Getting to know Tom Tamura

Hi there, I'm Tom! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides therapy for individuals, couples, and families with a focus on strengthening relationships, improving communication, and supporting meaningful, lasting change. My focus I enjoy working with adults, couples, and families who want to improve relationship satisfaction, strengthen communication, and navigate life’s transitions with more clarity and connection, while offering ideas and steps that can be practiced outside of the therapy hour. My approach My approach is collaborative, evidence-informed, and grounded in a clear understanding of how family systems and life transitions impact emotional well-being. I work alongside clients to clarify goals, build practical skills, and create a therapy plan tailored to their needs. My communication style I am a thoughtful and curious listener, who appreciates the value of being both lighthearted and direct, when it is in the best interest of my clients. My style is strengths-based and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on building upon existing resilience, and turning insight into practical next steps. My journey to mental healthcare I have always enjoyed the stories that shape all of our lives, and I have spent my career humbled to witness the bravery of my clients, as they share the most intimate moments of their lives. I am honored to have worked in a variety of settings, in both private and non-profit agencies, and in private practice, with special interest in children. My goals for you Creating a treatment plan is a collaborative process and begins with listening. In taking a holistic approach to working with my clients, I want to understand what brings you to therapy, what are your strengths and resources that you can rely on, and what steps you believe you can make to reach your goals both immediately and in the future.
