3 therapists in Delaware matching your needs

I specialize in symptoms of Adult and Child Anxiety and Depressive Disorders, and ADHD. I assist frustrated parents with changing child behaviors which are impacting the family in a negative way. I believe that everyone is capable of overcoming obstacles and moving toward becoming their best self. All families have challenges, and can use these challenges as opportunities to improve their relationships. Therapy is a tool that provides a safe, accepting environment in which people can begin to make the changes they need to have the life they want to live.

Greetings! Thank you for your consideration to enter into a therapeutic relationship with me. I would like to share a little background information to help you make an informed decision, prior to moving forward. I completed all of my formal education from The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), included a bachelors degree in Bio-Behavioral Health, a masters degree in Counselor Education/Psychiatric Rehabilitation, and a doctoral degree in Adult Education. My doctoral dissertation pertained to substance used disorders and spiritual development amongst human service professionals. I began working in clinical practice in 2002; since that time I have worked in various settings including: State Vocational Rehabilitation, outpatient practice, psychiatric hospitals, detox centers, and educational institutions. Specialization areas within my practice include: the blended family experience, depression and anxiety concerns, traumatic experiences, substance use concerns, and general aspects of phase of life adjustment. I currently reside on the eastern shore in Delaware with my wife and 3 children. In my free time I enjoy experiencing the outdoors, playing and building guitars, and engaging in activities with my family.

TaMara brings a wealth of experience in an unconventional way. As a former owner of a home healthcare company, that primarily provided services to the elderly, TaMara found herself assisting families, particularly adult children, who had to make tough healthcare and financial decisions for their parent(s). She helped families establish goals on how best to support their parents in maintaining dignity and independence while simultaneously identifying the next steps in the event of their parents’ passing. While families had to come to terms with the physical, mental, and/or psychological changes seen in their parents, taking on the parental role was quite emotionally challenging for adult children. TaMara supported the entire family in managing these delicate issues.
