Tamara Nixon is the first therapist that I feel really took interest in me, on a deeper level. Other therapists I went to were focused mainly on my problems, but not at all on my personal interests and hobbies and I feel this is really important in them understanding my personality and my likes/dislikes. Also I appreciate that she is proactive and she sends me things to read and worksheets to work on. I really feel safe with telling her about my issues.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts. I am also a certified School Adjustment and Guidance Counselor. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults for more than 10 years. I have experience with a variety of mental health and personal issues such as depressive symptoms, symptoms of anxiety and panic, stress management, post-secondary planning as well as other disorders, including executive functioning deficits/ADHD, cognitive disorders, and Autism/Asperger's Syndrome.
I believe in the following therapeutic approaches: client-centered, solution-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as mindfulness. Together we can see which method is best for you. I am available to help you utilize your strengths in the areas of your life you are hoping to improve. I utilize a positive approach in counseling and hope to empower you to create goals as well as help resolve your current challenges.
If you are ready to follow a new path with my support and guidance, we can work together to find ways to improve your emotional and personal well-being. I look forward to hearing from you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
