LCSW, 16 years of experience
Hello! My name is Ms. Tammy Carson and I am a board-certified Psychotherapist. I am originally from Boston Massachusetts. In my younger years I traveled and worked in many states in a corporate yet still helping role as a business analyst and functioned as a project manager too in South Africa Johannesburg. I am licensed in the state of Massachusetts and Florida. I attended a Christian college for my undergraduate degree at Eastern Nazarene a college affiliated through the church of the Nazarene. The social work department at the college mirrored and was taught social work through a Christian perspective and philosophies taken from the stories of the bible. I completed my graduate degree at Simmons School of Social Work in Boston Massachusetts, getting an MSW, and an Urban Leadership certificate. I have been licensed and doing psychotherapy since 2013. My last job before doing psychotherapy full time was working in an emergency room alongside psychiatric residents doing crisis evaluations, advocating for all populations to get them the proper level of care needed. I like to think in psychotherapy session’s that, “I meet people where they are at in life”, and take it from there. I am an empath and proud of it. I genuinely like helping people understand, identify and better manage their daily lives and relationships. I enjoy helping people to take control and get the best out of life for themselves.
The first session will include getting to know if this will be a good fit or not. The therapeutic rapport is important for true change. I will be honest, non judgmental, however will ask some hard questions about your intention for therapy.
My areas of strengths ( i.e. my niche) are helping people dealing with cluster B personalities in their lives, childhood trauma, Adult ADD, anxiety, depression, students of all ages starting school and having a hard time with the transition, health care workers I enjoy working with, helping them mange and balance life and work.
My ideal client is one that is thirsty for knowledge and change. On the that is curious and seeking to make personal change in an upward direction.
I believe having a clear cognitive lens of your past can help you to seek help and change in the present current and future.
