Tamara Raphaeli

Dr. Tamara Raphaeli is a Psychologist located in Murfreesboro, TN. Dr. Raphaeli is passionate about helping veterans, college students, and people who are inclined towards spirituality. Many of Dr. Raphaeli’s clients suffer from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, or codependencies. She helps clients develop the skills they need to relate to others in healthy ways and to feel more comfortable with their inner thoughts and feelings.

Dr. Raphaeli’s approach to therapy stems from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These therapy modalities teach clients how to identify negative thought patterns that impact their mood and their actions. Clients also learn different techniques for regulating their emotions, especially in times of heavy stress. Dr. Raphaeli often brings spirituality into conversation, when there’s client interest, including Buddhism, Kabbalah, Hinduism, and Christianity.

Dr. Raphaeli earned a PsyD from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology. Her goal is to empower clients to take control over what thoughts exist in their heads, instead of telling themselves to “just get over it.” She provides validation and encouragement for clients as they progress down their mental health journeys.
