Tamara Nixon is the first therapist that I feel really took interest in me, on a deeper level. Other therapists I went to were focused mainly on my problems, but not at all on my personal interests and hobbies and I feel this is really important in them understanding my personality and my likes/dislikes. Also I appreciate that she is proactive and she sends me things to read and worksheets to work on. I really feel safe with telling her about my issues.

- LMHC
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts. I am also a certified School Adjustment and Guidance Counselor. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults for more than 10 years. I have experience with a variety of mental health and personal issues such as depressive symptoms, symptoms of anxiety and panic, stress management, post-secondary planning as well as other disorders, including executive functioning deficits/ADHD, cognitive disorders, and Autism/Asperger's Syndrome.
I believe in the following therapeutic approaches: client-centered, solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as mindfulness. Together we can see which method is best for you. I am available to help you utilize your strengths in the areas of your life you are hoping to improve. I utilize a positive approach in counseling and hope to empower you to create goals as well as help resolve your current challenges.
If you are ready to follow a new path with my support and guidance, we can work together to find ways to improve your emotional and personal well-being. I look forward to hearing from you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
