Tammy Barbati is a Pennsylvania Licensed Professional Counselor (PA LPC PC000506) with 21 years of professional experience. She has worked with clients on motivation, self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, coping with life changes, and executive and professional coaching.

Her work is grounded in a person-centered approach that assumes people are naturally motivated to reach a high level of psychological functioning. Tammy aims to create an open, safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Tammy emphasizes listening and a non-judgmental stance, allowing open-ended conversations led by the client so therapy moves in the right direction. She encourages larger-scale goal setting while guiding clients to begin with small, manageable steps that demonstrate progress is possible and can feel positive.

She values acknowledging the feelings that come with change, noting that anxiety, fear, or guilt are normal parts of pursuing goals. By focusing on strengths, maintaining realistic expectations, and increasing self-awareness about what matters most, Tammy supports clients in identifying and pursuing what they want from life. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and offers support to those taking that first step.
