LPC, 14 years of experience
I’m Tamera J. Brown, a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR Certified Therapist, and EMDR Consultant-in-Training who helps women and couples heal the roots of trauma, reclaim safety in their bodies, and rediscover wholeness in their relationships. My approach weaves evidence-based trauma therapy with a deeply holistic lens: honoring the mind, body, and spirit as one system of healing. In our work together, therapy becomes a sacred journey, a space to slow down, process painful experiences, and reconnect with your innate resilience. I integrate EMDR, parts work, polyvagal and somatic practices, along with relational frameworks like Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy, to help my clients move beyond survival into embodied peace and purpose. As a therapist, I bring both clinical depth and spiritual wisdom, rooted in years of study, teaching, and lived experience. I believe healing is not just about symptom relief; it’s about remembering who you are beneath the wounds. If you’re ready to transform old patterns and live from a place of grounded wholeness, I’d be honored to walk beside you on your healing journey.
Our first session is a gentle beginning. It’s a space for you to exhale, slow down, and share what brings you here.....at your own pace. I’ll listen closely to understand your story, your goals, and what healing looks like for you. We’ll explore what’s been feeling heavy or hard to carry, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and begin building a sense of safety and trust between us. You don’t have to have the perfect words.......just your willingness to show up as you are. I’ll also explain how EMDR and trauma-informed therapy work, answer your questions, and collaborate with you to create a plan that feels supportive and doable. By the end of our first session, my goal is for you to leave feeling seen, safe, and a little more hopeful .......knowing that healing is possible and that you don’t have to walk this journey alone.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are creating safety, helping clients feel deeply seen, and guiding them through real, lasting transformation. I specialize in trauma therapy using EMDR, parts work, and somatic approaches that help the body and mind heal together. Clients often tell me that my calm presence and ability to make sense of complex emotions help them feel grounded and hopeful again. I bring a holistic perspective...integrating relational healing (for couples and individuals) with spiritual and emotional growth. Whether we’re working through anxiety, attachment wounds, or relationship patterns, I help you reconnect to your inner strength and the parts of you that already know how to heal. I’m not just focused on reducing symptoms; I’m here to help you experience peace, clarity, and confidence in who you are. My goal is that you leave each session feeling more connected to yourself, more equipped with tools for daily life, and more empowered to create the relationships and life you desire.
I work best with women and couples who are ready to heal and grow.. not just to cope. My clients are often helpers, leaders, and nurturers who have spent years being strong for everyone else and are now ready to turn that care inward. You may be healing from trauma, anxiety, or relationship wounds that have left you feeling disconnected from your body, your voice, or your sense of peace. You might be tired of repeating old patterns or surviving on autopilot, and you’re ready to do the deeper work of rebuilding safety, trust, and wholeness. My ideal clients are open-minded, curious, and committed to the journey... even when it’s uncomfortable. You don’t need to have it all figured out; you just need to be willing to begin. Together, we’ll create space for you to process your story, reclaim your truth, and embody the healing you’ve been praying for.
I help women find healing and empowerment through EMDR therapy, guiding them on a journey to nurture their mental and emotional well-being. By utilizing EMDR, I aim to assist women in overcoming the impact of past traumas, reducing anxiety and stress, and cultivating a newfound sense of clarity, calm, and confidence in their lives.
"I have experience using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help individuals with PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. In my practice, I guide clients through structured sessions to help them challenge and change unhelpful beliefs connected to their traumatic experiences. This process allows clients to develop healthier perspectives, reduce distressing emotions, and move forward with greater control in their lives."
As a therapist, I’ve witnessed the powerful impact of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (M-CBT) on women’s wellness. This approach combines mindfulness with cognitive behavioral techniques, providing a supportive space for growth and healing. M-CBT helps women develop self-awareness, allowing them to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. This awareness is a crucial step in their healing journey. The stress reduction techniques inherent in M-CBT lead many clients to feel a greater sense of calm and balance in their lives. I also see significant improvements in emotional regulation. Women learn valuable skills to manage their emotions, which fosters resilience and control during challenging times. Furthermore, M-CBT creates a sense of community, as women share their experiences and support one another in their journeys. Throughout our work together, I observe transformative insights that empower women to understand themselves better and approach life’s challenges with newfound strength. My goal is to help them take charge of their mental health and well-being. I feel privileged to guide women toward cultivating resilience, self-compassion, and a brighter future.
As a therapist, I’ve seen the profound impact that faith-based therapy can have on women’s wellness. This approach integrates spiritual beliefs with psychological principles, creating a nurturing environment for healing and growth. Faith-based therapy helps women deepen their self-awareness by connecting their thoughts and feelings to their spiritual beliefs. This connection often serves as a powerful tool for identifying and overcoming negative patterns in their lives. Additionally, the stress reduction techniques rooted in faith provide a sense of peace and comfort. Many clients report feeling more grounded and resilient when they lean into their spiritual practices during challenging times. I also observe positive changes in emotional regulation as women learn to draw strength from their faith. This spiritual grounding helps them navigate their emotions with greater clarity and confidence. The sense of community fostered in faith-based therapy is invaluable, as women share their journeys and support one another through shared beliefs and experiences. Throughout our sessions, I witness transformative insights that empower women to align their mental health with their spiritual values. My goal is to help them embrace their faith as a source of strength and guidance in their lives. I feel truly honored to support women on this journey toward resilience, self-compassion, and a more fulfilling life grounded in their beliefs.
As a therapist, I have experienced the profound impact of the Gottman Method in supporting women’s wellness, particularly within the context of relationships. This approach is grounded in research and focuses on fostering healthy communication and emotional connection, creating a safe space for women to grow and thrive. The Gottman Method emphasizes self-awareness in relationships, helping women understand their own emotions and needs. This insight allows them to identify and address any negative patterns that may arise in their interactions with others, leading to healthier dynamics. A key component of this method is its focus on effective communication. Women learn valuable skills to express themselves openly and honestly, which not only enhances their relationships but also contributes to their overall emotional well-being. Many clients report feeling more empowered and understood as they practice these techniques. Furthermore, the Gottman Method encourages emotional regulation, equipping women with tools to manage their feelings during conflicts. This fosters resilience and helps them navigate challenges with greater ease and confidence. The sense of community created through therapy sessions also provides vital support, as women share their experiences and insights with one another. Throughout our work together, I witness transformative insights that empower women to cultivate healthier relationships and a deeper understanding of themselves. My goal is to guide them in applying the principles of the Gottman Method to enhance their emotional wellness and relational satisfaction. I am honored to support women on this journey toward building strong, loving connections that nurture their overall well-being.
