Tamara Brown Payne
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, CRC, NCC
Verified
As a holistic therapist and life strategist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential through growth in all aspects of your life. While we can't change the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in life. By applying eclectic therapy approaches and techniques, we will discover long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Philosophy: "It is what it is, but it doesn't have to be. Experience is a lesson and the lesson is a new experience."

I seek to humanize mental health struggles and champion therapy to everyone as the path to normalizing and living a healthy, active, fulfilling life.

Barriers to self actualization exist, often buried deep within the layers of experience, trauma, divorce, unmet needs, unhealed hurts, depression, anxiety, less than desired self esteem, family systems, unhealthy relationships, anger, feelings of being misunderstood, symptoms of diagnosis, poor communication skills and the list goes on. Actualization, health and wellness comes at the gain of awareness.
