Tamara Laakso

My communication style

As a therapist, I believe in being direct and clear. I believe in open communication to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. With active listening, you will have opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been assisting others for many years to learn and grow to become their best self. This life we live is a journey. My journey into therapy began when I learned the value of human resilience. I have a desire to help others find their strength. I believe people can heal from trauma to live their best life.

My goals for you

I provide mental health counseling to adults, couples, and families who are experiencing issues including; depression, anxiety, grief, domestic violence, childhood trauma, and other traumas. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you. We will work on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous. Therapy is a process and takes time to reach set goals. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
