Tamara Spears brings 22 years of experience in human services, with a background that includes social services work and both inpatient and outpatient therapy.

She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, career difficulties, attention-deficit issues in adults, addictions, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Her counseling style is person-centered, warm, and interactive, and she approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

She integrates a variety of approaches – including solution-focused work, supportive techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies, dialectical behavioral methods, humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives, and motivational interviewing – and tailors conversations and treatment plans to meet each individual’s specific needs.

As clients take courageous steps toward change, Tamara aims to guide, support, motivate, and encourage them toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

She is a licensed social worker in Michigan, holding an LMSW license (license number 6801085567), and she looks forward to working with individuals who are ready to begin that process.
