Hello! My name is Tammy Ferguson and I have been a psychotherapist for over twenty years. I am passionate about helping people heal and grow. I believe when we are given the proper "container" or safe space, we are more likely to be able to access our inner knowing that can potentially lead to deep healing. I like to work with individuals who are wanting help navigating relationship issues, life transitions, grief, and/or trauma. In addition, I work with people who are dealing with spiritual issues such as religious trauma, deconstruction of faith, deconversion an/or spiritual abuse.

Do you struggle with an inner voice that tells you that you are failing or not enough? Is it difficult to identify what you want? Do you consistently prioritize others over yourself? We live in a world that bombards us with messages about who has value and who does not. We are told “just try harder” and things will change. My clients come to therapy because despite a commitment to this hustle for worth, they remain dissatisfied. They feel stuck and resonate with the idea of putting their life on hold until they lose the weight, get the promotion, etc. Many say they are ready for something different but aren't sure where to start.

I am a mental health counselor who believes therapy is a process in which you will gain greater self-awareness, that can change how you live in the world and relate to others. We all have issues from our past, big and small traumas, being triggered by our current situations that prevent us from living a more meaningful life. Creating healthy connections with the parts of you that are challenging, builds the resources for you to be more authentic and comfortable in your own skin. By doing this, you find your strengths and face your fears.

This first step is hard. I see you. Maybe you’ve been here before, or it’s your first time exploring therapy. I specialize in working with trauma and relational ruptures throughout the lifetime - this may be a single incident trauma, developmental or attachment trauma, trust violations, communication, intimacy, or emotional overwhelm. I have limited telehealth and in-person openings to work with adult individuals and dyadic relationships. I support those who are poly, ENM, kinky, queer, trans, living with HIV, and those who do consensual sex work.

When we hurt we cannot enjoy life how we wish. Pain from our past, from relationships, from trauma or from a multitude of other sources can create unrest with how we see ourselves, others and the world we live in. Current events can compound our sense of powerlessness and the pain associated with our own experiences. Fortunately, each person has in them the capacity to grow, love and live how they want to.

I specialize in providing affirming and competent therapy to people across a broad spectrum of gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity. I love working with folks who identify across the LGBTQIA2-S++ spectrum, as well as those who have other marginalized and/or non-normative identities and life experiences. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in values of collective liberation, anti-oppression, resilience, and intersectionality. My work is systemically focused, meaning that I work to support you in your growth as a whole self who lives as an interconnected and interdependent being within the unique context of your life.

We all struggle in life at one point or another. However, reaching out for support can take a lot of strength and courage. For this reason, I strive to provide a safe, accepting, non-judgmental environment where you can openly explore your struggles and receive the support and guidance you need. Many times our past experiences have left us with wounds that become aggravated, causing difficulites in our relationships and daily lives. Together, we will reflect upon your emotional states, core beliefs and sources of distress to gain deeper awareness and skills for positive change and healing in these areas.

Feeling stuck, wanting to heal past wounds, or just curious about adding more knowledge to your mental health tool belt? Maybe you and I could work together. Life is tough. Life does not always go as predicted. Childhood can seem scattered, stressful, and full of high emotions. Events from childhood can creep into adulthood impacting daily life. Maybe it is time to process those files you have stored away and deeply heal.

I believe in the importance of feeling connected in relationships, to our environment, and to ourselves. Addressing the “here and now” that arises during therapy allows our sessions to adapt and work with the difficult emotions or thoughts that come up, in an environment that is judgment free and safe. I specialize in working with those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem issues, grief and chronic pain, among other issues. I am LGBTQIA+, gender-affirming, and enjoy working with clients along the spectrum of neurodiversity and disability.

Healing means growing our capacity to give and receive love. Therapy can help with unblocking the channels so that love can flow more freely. When you commit to your own healing work, it can have powerful ripple effects in your family and community. It can interrupt cycles of interpersonal and systemic violence, and soften the way for future generations. It can also grow your capacity to work toward systemic change. Racism, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of oppression take a toll on our minds, bodies, and spirits. By reconnecting to self-love in the face of oppression, you can become a more powerful agent of transformation.

Are you feeling stuck? What's getting in the way of living a satisfying life, one with heart and meaning? You may be coming to therapy because of a new development or something very old, you may not even know what it is. You may also be adding to your burden by judging your self unfairly. But there is hope, therapy can usher in exciting transformation. When we can embrace the gifts that come with challenges, old fears lose their power. I deeply enjoy helping clients explore/work through difficulties with the purpose of breaking old patterns and intentionally creating a new path forward. Healing and growth is possible for you too.

I see individuals and couples for all types of issues; burnout, anxiety, depression, adult diagnosis (or suspicion) of neurodiversity, trauma, relationship issues, identity issues, and more. All of these are great reasons to seek out counseling. Whether you don't know where to start, or you have a specific issue you want to work on, that's okay; we'll figure it out together. So much of therapy is about the relationship between client and therapist. My clients want a space where they feel safe to explore and process their emotions, while looking for solutions to get more in touch with themselves.
