Tamara has helped me keep my head above water for over a year. She was my crutch on a journey I wasn’t happy to be on but I had no choice. A lifesaver.

Reviewed March 2024

I have been working with Tamara for almost 2-years and she has aided me in dealing with grief from the death of my wife and generational trauma within my family. This work has allowed me to move forward in my personal relationships and mend fences with some family members I had not spoken to in years. I can't thank her enough for all of her help.

More about Tamara

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas. I've worked as a Social Worker for the past 9 years. Most of my experience has been in hospice and end-of-life settings. I've worked with a diverse group of clients, with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, coping with terminal illnesses, caregiver burnout, and compassion fatigue.

My counseling style works towards the goal of creating a safe and open space with my clients. Your treatment will be specific to you and your needs to empower you to make positive changes. I'm here to help you through this journey.

I look forward to meeting you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.

Tamara makes me feel calmer and like I’m having a normal response to my problems

Reviewed November 2023

Tamara has made a material difference in my life. I look forward to speaking with her, and I always feel better after we speak. She’s so attentive, and frankly a godsend. I don’t know how she does it all and helps so many people. Tamara walks through my emotions with me, and helps me process the why. She’s so open, and I never feel like I’m being judged and can communicate in a way that’s effective for me. I’ve come to look forward to therapy after being a skeptic for years. Tamara is an amazing therapist and individual. I feel so blessed she found this calling in life.

I have ONLY had a "virtual" relationship with Tamara so far. THIS IS TOTALLY my doing and/or my fault - NOT HERs! However, Tamara has read ALL my journal entries, responded to them, and I feel comfortable ALREADTY with her as my therapist! She has also been persistent in getting me to RESCHEDULE my appts. every time I have canceled, so I know she CARES! RIGHT? I really LOVE how my therapist can "see me here" through my journal entries I write - WHENEVER I feel the need! I have and will CONTINUE to recommend betterhelp to ALL I KNOW who seel therapy!
