Tammy Folaron
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, past trauma, and life changes. As an Air Force veteran with years of experience working with veterans, I understand the challenges military service and everyday life can bring. My approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to your needs. Along with traditional therapy, I offer hypnotherapy and other mind-body techniques to help you manage emotions, change unwanted patterns, and build confidence. Together, we’ll explore your challenges, recognize your strengths, and find practical ways to help you move forward. My goal is to help you feel understood, develop new perspectives, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.
First session
What to Expect in Your First Session Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your concerns, goals, strengths, and what you hope to accomplish. We’ll work together to determine an approach that fits your needs and comfort level. Most importantly, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself and begin taking the first steps toward positive change.
Strengths
What Makes My Sessions Unique My sessions combine support with personal growth. I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel heard and understood, while gently helping you see new perspectives and change patterns that may be holding you back. I tailor each session to your needs and pace, helping you build confidence, gain insight, and make meaningful changes in your life.
Ideal clients
My Ideal Client I work with adults at different stages of life who are ready to take an active role in their growth and well-being. My ideal client is open to exploring their thoughts, emotions, and patterns and is willing to work toward meaningful change, even when that process feels uncomfortable at times. They may be navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, life transitions, confidence, or simply feel stuck and want something different. I work best with clients who want therapy to be collaborative, practical, and honest—providing a space to feel supported while also being gently challenged when needed.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
My Approach to Therapy I use an eclectic, individualized approach to therapy, drawing from different evidence-based therapeutic methods based on each client’s needs, goals, and preferences. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach, so we work together to find what is most helpful for you. My sessions balance holding space with gentle challenge—providing compassion and understanding while encouraging you to explore new perspectives, recognize patterns, and work toward meaningful change.
