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 earned my BSN from Duke University in 2014, my Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) degree from Gonzaga University in 2017, and my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2020. I also completed a Plant-Based Nutrition certification through Cornell University. My background spans both community and mental health care, including experience at a large community health center in Washington, DC, where I worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. My foundation in family medicine has given me extensive experience caring for people with co-occurring mental health and complex medical conditions. I also have significant experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and strive to provide compassionate, whole-person care that meets each patient's unique needs.
When you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from carrying everything on your own, it can be difficult to know where to start.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout North Carolina via Telehealth, offering a supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, build on your strengths, and work toward the life you want to create.

Are you questioning your relationship with substances or other behaviors, and want to make changes?
Is your child engaging in substance use or other risky/addictive behaviors, and you want to artfully guide them towards healthier decisions, or they’re interested in shifting their use?
Would you like support with creating family screen guidelines that keep your kids healthy, safe, and responsible, while reducing battles over it all?
Are you disconnected from your adolescent and eager for "teen whispering" skills to improve your relationship?
Then I’ve got you!
In the middle of college, at 19, I found myself in rehab, struggling with multiple addictions. This rerouted me from my dreams of Broadway to sparking a 30+ year career in the fields of prevention, early intervention and treatment of substance use disorders and other addictions. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment with adolescents and adults, in therapeutic schools, as a middle and high school counselor, and as a parenting coach.
I’m licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Internationally Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor, Prevention Specialist, and certified in Digital Health & Wellness.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Addiction Specialist — and this work is not just my profession, it is my calling.

I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relapse Prevention, and Self-Compassion practices. But beyond the credentials, here is what I want you to know about me: I believe that therapy is about walking beside you — not directing you, not fixing you — with the quiet understanding that we are all, in our own way, walking one another home. That belief shapes everything about how I show up for my clients.
As a therapist, I have worked with clients in schools, communities, and office settings for over a decade. I enjoys working with children with ADHD and ODD and with children who have experienced physical and sexual abuse. He also works with adults who are dealing with substance misuse, mood disorders such as Depression, Bipolar Disorder, personality problems, and adults with dual diagnoses and behavioral problems.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fayetteville, NC
Searching for addiction therapists in Fayetteville starts with finding care that matches the type of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you review therapists, look for experience with approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care when a prescriber is part of your care team.
Fayetteville has a range of local therapists, but the right fit may depend on schedule, appointment format, and the therapist’s experience with your specific concerns. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you stay connected to care from home. As you compare therapists, check whether they are accepting new patients, offer scheduling that fits your week, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you see how a therapist describes their approach, including whether they use a nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed framework.
Addiction therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
