Tammi L. Collins, LMFT

Life can be inherently stressful. We often feel trapped by our own circumstances, voiceless in our relationships and powerless to significant change in our lives. We even convince ourselves that if we just wait a little while longer, the problem might go away. Well first let me start by saying that, therapy is best sought when we realize and acknowledge that we are struggling. So I want to acknowledge the first step that you’ve taken in the healing process and that is taking the time to visit my page today. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is extremely important therefore I hope to foster the healing process by providing an authentic safe, caring, secure and non-judgmental atmosphere where you can feel heard. Therefore, my main goal is to focus on the client and meet them where they are in the moment. While empowering the client to recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to helping the client on their journeys towards healing and happiness. I may have the expertise and knowledge as a Licensed marriage and family therapist but you are the expert of your own life story and life experiences. I have experience working in community mental health, residential treatment centers, school settings, and private practice with individuals, couples, and families in diverse age groups, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations. I understand that choosing a therapist is a difficult decision. Being a good match to your specific needs is important for both of us. Therefore, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to anyone wishing to learn more. A major part of our population suffers with mental illness yet it is considered a stigma. It is high time we start talking.
