Kamaree Altaffer

My communication style

I am a direct communicator who is understanding and non-judgmental. I believe everyone can work to improve their emotions, relationships, and situation. I like clients to direct their care, but I can provide suggestions and feedback. I welcome feedback from clients, as meeting your needs is most important.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have both personal and professional experience in substance and alcohol use recovery, chronic mental and physical health challenges, and neurodiversity management. My goal is to help people live their best lives. I am committed to being a light in the dark for people who have lost their way.

My goals for you

Through discussion, we will determine what issues you want to address and where they fit in terms of priority. I encourage clients to set their own goals and will make suggestions based on information received during sessions. I am therapeutically flexible and will find the tools to help you meet your treatment goals.

Our first session

The first session collects background information including history of presenting issues, relationships, family history, substance and alcohol use, living situation, spirituality, cultural preferences, employment, social support, trauma history, and treatment history. We will develop treatment goals together and follow up on scheduling.
