Tamara Ridge

My communication style

I maintain a client-centered, warm, empowering approach. If you were hurt as a child, the last thing you need is someone telling you what to do. I focus on helping you see choices and feel in control during our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after discovering through my own therapy that happiness was possible despite childhood trauma. I wanted to help others feel hope instead of hopelessness. I stay active in my own healing to guide you effectively in yours.

My goals for you

What's most important to you is most important to me. I'll ask about your goals for each session and overall treatment, keeping them in mind as we work together to help you achieve what you want without spending years in therapy.

Our first session

I'll ask what you'd like from therapy, what brought you here, and why now is the right time. I'll listen for patterns, ask about your experience, and help you feel comfortable by ensuring you feel heard.
