Tamara Yates

About Tamara

I'm Tamara (she/her), a Professional Counselor Associate, supporting couples and adults to feel more at home in themselves and the world. I work relationally and bring compassion, curiosity, respect, and authenticity to each encounter.

With a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate University and over a decade of experience in parts work, I draw on Jungian and attachment-based psychotherapies and IFS-informed parts work to help you navigate and nurture your relationships with your inner and outer worlds.

I am currently supervised by Doug Chapman, LPC, LMHC, CADC III.

My Approach

My work is relational and collaborative, resting on the foundation of a solid therapeutic alliance. In our work together, you can expect to be met with compassion, curiosity, respect, and authenticity as we draw on Jungian psychotherapy, attachment-based psychotherapy, and IFS-informed parts work.
