Tamara Hanna
Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LPC, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist
In addition to being a licensed professional counselor for 10 years, I am a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist through the Grief Recovery Institute, and this is my passion–to help people through grief, loss, change, transitions: LIFE. Whether it’s trauma, difficult and disappointing parents or family, or miserable relationships, I’m not afraid of going deep because I believe you can come out better on the other side. Society does not help us very much. In fact, we often get unhelpful messages–sometimes from our family or our communities of faith and cultures of religion. We need to unlearn some things and replace them with tools that really resonate for us. Life and relationships don’t come with a manual, but I’m honored to help you sort through things and build the tools you need.With these tools, we can work towards the things we crave and long for. I am trained in relationship models of attachment that inform healthy dating, especially if you realize you don’t want to repeat old patterns, need better boundaries, or if you relate to the term “codependency.” Basically, it’s how to follow your heart without losing your mind. I value this work as a way to guide couples therapy so it’s not about finger-pointing or taking sides—no one gets thrown under the bus. It’s about helping the relationship grow, transforming your bond, and gaining clarity and peace from the process.I have a lot of tools in my toolbox– solid training, great mentorship, years of experience, but my first priority is listening to YOUR soul. You know yourself best, and I trust that together we can find the answers and relief you are looking for within you.
