Tammy George
Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 30 years of experience in a variety of inpatient, outpatient, and community mental health settings as well as private practice. When setting goals for treatment, my aim is to be as solution focused as possible, to help you feel better quickly! Therapy can be life changing.
I think I convey my passion for this work through my level of engagement in sessions with my clients.

First session
In our first session, we will get to know each other and you will decide if I might be a good fit for you. I will work to get an understanding of who you are and what is bringing you to me so that we can develop of a plan of action for future sessions.
Strengths
I have thirty plus years of experience in direct clinical practice with clients. I am very passionate about this work and the importance of using therapy as a self help tool. I firmly believe everyone can benefit from talking to a therapist at some point in their lives.
Ideal clients
My areas of specialty include providing support to those who endorse feelings of anxiety, depression, a history of traumatic experiences, life stress, and self-esteem issues.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Sometimes, our thoughts can be unhelpful, especially if we have internalized them. CBT identify helps people identify harmful thoughts, and determine whether they are accurate and, if they are not, learn strategies to challenge and overcome them.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT can help people learn to recognize, accept, and regulate/manage intense emotions that are problematic. With DBT you will learn new skills to cope with day-to-day life, and find new behaviors to replace harmful ones. I also do mindfulness based therapy as part of my DBT work.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic work helps unpack past traumas and how they can affect our current emotions. You will learn how to identify your emotional patterns and the origins of these patterns which we are often not aware of.
Trauma-Informed Care
I will help you understand the impact trauma is having on your health and well-being. I will help you feel empowered, safe and supported in your recovery journey. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist.
Somatic
I will help you understand and alter the connection between your body and mind. I will help you relieve tensions you experience in your physical body while tending to the emotional connection to your bodily response.
