Tamara Allison, LICSW

From a young age I always knew I wanted to help people. Maybe that sounds cliché but here I am doing what I feel I was born to do. You know how some people say they have the “gift of gab” well I feel I have the gift to listen.  Really listen and take everything in and be solely focused on the person across from me.  I want you to feel heard and supported. My goal is to work collaboratively with you; together we will be a team.

​

​My therapeutic style is compassionate, warm and empathic.  I believe that at the core of all successful therapy starts with a good therapeutic relationship.  I work from a strength-based approach incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tailored to meet each clients needs. I feel providing a safe environment is key for a person to feel comfortable to tell their story. I believe it is important to build trust and positive relationships in both therapy and my personal life. I place an emphasis on total well-being- mind, body and soul working to find the work/life balance. I try and practice what I preach as I am walking this road with you too. I strive to live in the present and flavor and savor each moment. As the saying goes, “stop and smell the roses.”
