My name is Tammara Lewis, owner of Mariposa Awakening Therapy Services and clinical director for Marriage and Family Services, Plantation location. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional-Level 2 (CCTP-II), and a solution-focused coach. In 2009, I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University (NSU) and currently pursuing my doctoral degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I possess more than 10 years of experience working in community and court-ordered agencies and private practice.
During the initial session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and tailor therapy to achieve your desired outcome. Using a faith-based, systemic lens and integrative approach which includes family systems theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed, solution-focused, and client-centered interventions, I create a supportive space to foster healing, growth, and change.
Having worked a diverse population of clients, I have the experience, insight, and skills to assist clients with identifying and unraveling the root cause of their issues.
I have experience working with teens, adults, couples, and families addressing an array of clinical issues: anxiety, family/relational issues, grief/loss, IPV/DV, PTSD, and trauma to mood disorders and life transitions. Also, as a military veteran, I draw on my experience and understanding when working with veterans and their families.
