Hello,
My name is Tamara and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in the state of North Carolina. I am also a Licensed Master's Social Worker in the state of Michigan. I received my MSW from Spring Arbor University in Michigan. I have clinical experience working with Marines, Sailors and spouses. I am a certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (ADC II) and certified in DBT. I know that life can be stressful, unpredictable and doesn't always go as planned. I look forward to working together.
I offer individual counseling to adults.
If you find it difficult to make sense of things and experience varying emotions as a result, come talk to me. Together, we will work on strategies, develop coping skills, and address the root causes of your difficulties and stresses.
I received my Bachelor’s in Social Work from Oakland University and my Master’s in Social Work from Madonna University. I have been a practicing social worker for four years, and during this time have received several certifications including: school social work, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools. Based on my experience, I specialize in working with adolescents and children; however, I am confident in my education and ability to help clients of all ages.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Kalamazoo, MI
Searching for therapists in Kalamazoo starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist experience fits your needs. People look for therapy in Kalamazoo for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training match what you want to address. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style that fits your preferences.
In a smaller city like Kalamazoo, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Michigan. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like counseling in Kalamazoo, couples counseling, or behavioral health support.
Therapy in Kalamazoo can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept insurance, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can compare therapists in Kalamazoo, review bios, check virtual or in-person availability, and book when you’re ready.
