About Tammie
I’m a solution oriented therapist, providing a consistent voice. See me if you like a direct and straightforward approach. I want you to feel better as quickly as possible and believe this is best accomplished using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy also known as CBT. My clients like that I hold them accountable. I help push them toward their goals in a compassionate caring way. We will break down big problems into manageable parts. You will learn practical, hands on strategies that work even if your life is messy, painful or difficult. I am enthusiastic about my work and there’s always room for fun and laughter. I won’t let you stay stuck!
WALK TALK THERAPY
In addition to in-office counseling, I provide Walk Talk Therapy. It’s an active way to get help and talk about your problems in a more natural setting. Therapy sessions are held outdoors. Instead of sitting on my couch, we walk in nature while you focus on your emotional, physical and spiritual health. Clients tell me that Walk Talk Therapy helps them feel more comfortable opening up because we are walking side by side. Walk Talk Therapy was nominated Most Innovative Therapy in 2015 by The Star Tribune. Visit the website to learn more www.walktalktherapymn.com.
