Therapists in Garden City, ID

Hi! My name is Tammy, and I am an LCSW who earned my degree from Northwest Nazarene University and licensed in Oregon and Idaho. My undergraduate degrees are from Boise State University in Psychology and Criminal Justice, with a minor in Addiction Studies. My experience includes addiction, anxiety, depression, and advocating for people in the criminal justice system. I have worked in the substance abuse field for many years working with the specialty courts and enjoy seeing people achieve their full potential during and after learning to manage their addiction. I utilize motivational interviewing, somatic (body) solution-focused, and person-centered therapeutic interventions. I also utilize EMDR therapy as a unique and powerful way to deal with a variety of client issues. I am trained in Level 1 Gottman Method Couples Therapy aiding me in working with individuals and couples through rough spots in their relationships. I currently work with adolescents and adults. I am excited to meet you and get to know about you and the struggles you face. Nobody should have to walk a journey alone and I am there to walk with you.  

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist-Consultant with over 10 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate life's challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. I specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, addiction, emotion dysregulation, and suicidal thoughts, using approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients build resilience, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My experience has been gained through various positions in the field of nursing as a registered nurse in the occupational, long term acute care, and psychiatric/mental health before moving into the role of a health care provider. I am a committed and hardworking individual with excellent communication and prioritization skills. I believe in being proactive and I am excellent at setting and attaining work related goals. I find joy in helping patients find their own joy in life! Let’s see what treatment can get you back on your feet and going again.
