Tamara Kesselman

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), Tamara Kesselman believes her role as a therapist is to create a safe, judgment-free environment, where clients feel validated and secure in working through their challenges. She enjoys working with couples and individuals of all ages and has particular expertise in the field of Blended Families.

Experiencing sadness, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, or are simply feeling ‘stuck’, are common in life and there is no need to suffer alone. Working together with Tamara, you will explore real change and begin your therapeutic journey.

As both seasoned therapist and mother of a large Blended Family herself, Tamara developed her own therapeutic approach aimed at meeting the needs of all members of Blended Families. Her goal is to help others navigate the complexities, nuances, and challenges specific to Family Blending, issues such as space sharing, discipline, sibling rivalry, isolation, house rules, family events, finances, and countless other challenges.

Her practice utilizes an integrative approach combining different therapeutic tools to fit the needs of the individual client or couple. Among these approaches are Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution- Focused Therapy, and Strength-Based Therapy. Tamara employs mindfulness practices and helps clients develop concrete skills for attainable, positive change and self-healing.
