Tamara Dozier

Hello, I'm Tamara, and I'm delighted to welcome you to my practice. With a Master of Social Work from Norfolk State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Kentucky, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our sessions. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, certified by the Virginia Board of Health Professions and the Kentucky Social Work Board, and have been practicing since 2017. Additionally, I hold an Approved Clinical Supervisor Certification, which allows me to provide clinical supervision to other social workers.

My therapeutic philosophy centers around a client-focused, strengths-based approach. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives by fostering a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. My goal is to help you uncover your inner strengths and develop the skills needed to navigate life's challenges.

I specialize in a wide range of areas, including addiction, ADHD, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, anger management, anxiety, children's mental/behavioral health, depression, family relationships, gender identity, intimate/romantic relationships, LGBTQIA+ support, medical issues/physical health, multicultural/diversity issues, sex/intimacy issues, spirituality, stress, and trauma. Whether you're dealing with a specific issue or seeking general support, I'm here to help.

In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and empathetic approach. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, and strengths-based approaches. Together, we'll work on developing practical strategies to address your concerns and achieve your goals.

Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about promoting mental health awareness and advocating for marginalized communities. I believe in the importance of cultural competence in therapy and strive to create an inclusive space for all clients.

If you're ready to take the first step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session. Let's work together to create positive change and achieve your personal and emotional well-being.
