About
Meet Tamara
I am a New York State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in couples, individual and family therapy, in private practice with an office located on Madison Ave. in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, just a few blocks away from Grand Central Station. While I am a licensed clinician, I am in full recognition of my humanity and enjoy meditation and mindfulness in my daily life. I am a heart-centered hypnotherapist and Reiki Master, who believes that our hearts hold the key to our authenticity and our mind is a tool to support the desires of our heart. I “walk the walk,” and incorporate all I practice personally into the work I do with clients. I have worked with individual clients, couples, and have been providing crisis management for Fortune 500 companies and organizations throughout New York City for over a decade.
Life is a continuous, ever evolving journey and I remain curious about new perspectives and healing modalities and share my discoveries and experiences with others.
Growing up in a multiracial and multicultural family, from an early age I learned to appreciate differences and rather than experiencing myself as fragmented I learned to understand I am a multifaceted, integrated whole. The illusion was that there were separate parts of me, the healing was understanding that separation is an illusion. I am always whole, and we (humanity) are one. A lesson learned early, I applied this to my worldview.
I consider myself an empath and integrative healer, who pulls from my life experiences, from working in corporate environments earlier in my career to becoming a licensed therapist and supporting others around managing their stress, healing past trauma, and developing the skills needed to enable them to pursue and excel in their endeavors and become the fullest version of themselves. I believe that we are all in “this” together. Learning to master our minds, open our hearts, and love ourselves and others fully.
“Re-examine all you have been told...Dismiss what insults your Soul.”
My relationship with each client is unique because it is created through meaningful and connecting shared therapeutic interactions which serve as a guide for our work together. I believe customized tools are essential and therefore provide supportive and practical feedback during sessions.
As a Strength-Based therapist, I pull from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment Theory, Gestalt Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Somatic practices, Spirituality, Mindfulness, Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy (HCH), Narrative therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and the work of the Gottman’s, Esther Perel, Brene Brown, Iyanla Vanzant, Joe Dispenza, Don Miquel Ruiz, Michael Beckwith, and Eckhart Tolle in my practice.
I am dedicated to working collaboratively with each person around attaining their goals and creating the beautifully authentic life they deserve.
