When counseling, I look at the whole person not just the current situation. I take time to get to know you and understand your situation and/or concerns. I treat all my clients with the utmost respect and compassion. I use motivational skills to help my patients see their strengths and help them create achievable goals. I believe in breaking the big goal into smaller goals that lead to meeting that larger goal. I believe this creates positive reinforcement for my clients and improves their emotional health, during what could be a difficult time in their life. I look forward to helping you improve your mental health, one step at a time. I have 6 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions and co-occurring.

Hi! I am a heterosexual cisgender woman, and my husband and I have a 15 year old son. I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri but I have lived in Florida for 34 years and it's my home. I hate snow. I think of myself as a girl-next-door therapist. New clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to. I like to use humor whenever possible. My approach is gentle and humble. I'll never go beyond your comfort level of discussion. My office is where you can spew your thoughts, cry and talk about yourself. I have had clients say things about their life that would not be acceptable in most settings, and being able to talk about it is often very freeing. I became a master's level social worker at 32, and my life experience prior to that enabled my ability to understand different types of people and what motivates them. I've been in this field for 16 years and I have worked in foster care, hospice and other medical settings and outpatient mental health settings.

Hi, I’m CJ Backer—a licensed marriage and family therapist who walks alongside people as they navigate the deeper questions of identity, purpose, and emotional well-being. So many of us move through life carrying the weight of expectations—what we should be, how we should feel, who we should become. My work is about helping you gently untangle from all of that, and reconnect with the person you are underneath the roles, pressure, and performance. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or just that quiet feeling that something’s off—I offer a space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to heal. In our work together, you’ll find a space that’s compassionate and real—where you’re not just seen through the lens of symptoms or labels, but as a whole person with a story that matters. I integrate evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing, but always with the understanding that tools only work when they’re paired with trust, empathy, and authenticity. Ultimately, my goal is to help you reconnect with who you are—not just who the world told you to be—so you can move through life with more clarity, courage, and self-trust.

Welcome! Thank you for checking out this space. My name is Tammy. If you have struggled with traditional talk therapies and feel like they haven't always met your needs then you are at the right spot. I use several different evidence based modalities to help reset your nervous systems, update the way your mind had been processing information to clear out trauma or lingering emotions that have been stuck on. I believe we all have had those times where we ask ourselves; why can't I just get myself to start or stop doing (______) fill in the blank. It is because where we are conscious of things is not where things are being caused. Ready to develop skills and understand yourself in a way that helps you move into the desired behavior you have been wanting, release emotions and energy that no longer are serving a purpose for you greater good. Then let's meet to discuss your personal needs further and go from there!

While I guide and support individuals in building skills to manage challenges, set realistic goals, and boost personal resilience, the responsibility for meaningful change rests with you.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist nearing 20 years’ experience, I work with a foundation of Solution Focus and Systemic Therapy. I’m often looking for "the funny" in the moment and the world around me. I greatly enjoy sarcasm, snark, and satire. I'm fairly casual but have been told I "Clean up well", and clients have told me in the past they appreciate that I do not come across as "stuffy". I'm often daydreaming of going on cruises with my wife and occasionally think about bringing our children as well. I treasure a long nap in a hammock, and I love movie. Once upon a time I even submitted a short film to the Cannes Film Festival (wasn't selected) but I did enter. Prior to being a therapist, I found myself listening and caring, as people would end up just talking to me and telling me their life story. I decided I should put that to good use. Additionally, growing up my family was fortunate to be able to adopt and quickly we became a larger family that could not remember when my sister was not part of the family. Through the process, I realized how important family and relationships. I appreciate and look forward to the chance to help others get through the rough patches, when life hits hard. When the answer is not easily found, we take time to look at all the options and find something, at least one step towards better. We're not looking for perfection, just looking for progress, a little bit here and there.

One of my favorite life mantras is a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent". Thus, I enjoy helping others embrace their power. One of the most impactful ways to do that is a change in thought process. It has such a significant influence on the way we react and the type of emotions we feel. At times, facing life's challenges can be difficult. Fortunately, you do not have to do it alone. I'll walk on the journey with you, offering a safe environment that encourages exploration and growth.

***Individual Therapy tailored to Hispanic/Latina women aged 30 and older*** Are you exhausted from catering to other people's needs—your family, partners, friends, and colleagues while neglecting your own—but unsure how to change? Even though you’re left feeling angry, you may suppress those feelings. You may feel guilty when you prioritize your needs. You may often feel compelled to please others (but not yourself) and struggle to set boundaries. Your decisions might often be influenced by their impact on those around you rather than being guided by your own needs, feelings, and wants, potentially limiting your freedom to authentically choose. As a result, your own desires may be overlooked. Deep down, you know you’re not living your fullest expression of you.

Painful experiences often lead us to put up defenses to prevent from falling into overwhelming emotions. These defenses might be perfectionism, escapism, anger towards those close to us, or entering into unhealthy relationships. However doing so disconnects us from ourselves and from the people around us often resulting in experiences of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate in helping people improve their self-worth, and process traumatic situations that leave us with negative patterns and lack of security. I believe that while brokenness happens in relationships, healing occurs in relationship as well. There is hope that with willingness and facing these uncomfortable parts of ourself that meaningful and lasting change can occur. Healing is possible.

My passion lies in empowering clients to achieve greater independence and well-being. I equip them with practical skills and tools they can utilize beyond therapy, fostering lasting growth. Drawing upon diverse experiences both personally and professionally, I possess strong cultural competency. This allows me to connect with clients from various backgrounds and understand their unique perspectives. Moreover, I am dually licensed in New York and Florida, providing flexibility to serve clients across state lines.
