Dr. Tammy Kirschner

Dr. Tammy Kirschner understands that reaching out for help can feel difficult, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin. Licensed as a psychologist in Florida since 1992, she brings 30 years of clinical experience to her work and blends professional expertise with a warm, approachable manner.

Over her career she has supported people facing acute and chronic depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflicts, low self-esteem, eating disorders, self-injurious behaviors, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and other life transitions. She has also assisted clients with career-related concerns, working as a career consultant for both small and large organizations and helping individuals with resumes and job search skills.

Clients often arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or low, with thoughts and emotions that are hard to sort through. Dr. Kirschner provides validation and support as foundational elements of therapy while using evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), behavioral therapies, motivational interviewing, supportive therapy, and solution-focused interventions to help people clarify goals and make decisions.

Her professional background includes roles in college counseling centers, outpatient clinics for anxiety and phobias, eating disorder groups, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and a private practice. She approaches therapy collaboratively, treating the therapeutic relationship as a team effort, and combines creativity, active problem-solving, and a sense of humor when appropriate. Dr. Kirschner aims to help clients organize their thoughts, develop practical coping strategies, and build skills they can use beyond the therapy setting, and she looks forward to guiding people through whatever challenges have brought them to seek support.
