TaMara brings a wealth of experience in an unconventional way. As a former owner of a home healthcare company, that primarily provided services to the elderly, TaMara found herself assisting families, particularly adult children, who had to make tough healthcare and financial decisions for their parent(s). She helped families establish goals on how best to support their parents in maintaining dignity and independence while simultaneously identifying the next steps in the event of their parents’ passing. While families had to come to terms with the physical, mental, and/or psychological changes seen in their parents, taking on the parental role was quite emotionally challenging for adult children. TaMara supported the entire family in managing these delicate issues.
While supporting clients in a work environment, TaMara was also a member of a leadership team of a Marriage Ministry in a non-profit organization in PA. Couple workshops were offered to provide a platform for couples to share their experiences and find solutions to their personal challenges. The primary issues that were addressed were divorce, finance, communication, sex, and in-laws.
TaMara specializes in Marriage, Family, and Couple’s Therapy to create a platform of transparency and acceptance, and an environment in which concerns can be explored, understood, and resolved. TaMara works from a family systems framework with a solutions-based focus utilizing proven, evidence-based practices that help individuals and couples achieve tangible results. TaMara works with individuals, couples, and families in the areas of relationship/family dynamics, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health issues. TaMara has also helped individuals with all types of challenges from death, abandonment, fairness in the household, roles and responsibilities, emotional stability and geographical relocation.
