About

In the realm of healing and personal growth, Tammy Sutton, MSW, LCSW, RPT™, stands as a beacon of hope for those navigating life's challenges and traumatic experiences. With a passionate commitment to providing a safe haven for her clients, Tammy specializes in guiding individuals through the intricate journey of trauma recovery and emotional wellness.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT), Tammy brings a unique blend of clinical expertise and creative therapeutic approaches to her practice. Her specialties encompass a wide range of mental health concerns, with a particular focus on mood and anxiety disorders, as well as trauma and PTSD treatment for clients aged 4 and up. This broad spectrum of expertise allows her to tailor her approach to meet the diverse needs of children, adolescents, and adults alike.

Tammy's therapeutic toolbox is rich and varied, reflecting her dedication to evidence-based practices and continued professional development. She is trained in Sand Tray therapy, a powerful technique that allows clients to express complex emotions and experiences through symbolic play. Additionally, her certifications in Trauma Focused-CBT (TF-CBT) and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) equip her with targeted strategies to address the unique needs of trauma survivors, particularly children and adolescents who have experienced sexual abuse.

Perhaps one of the most transformative tools in Tammy's arsenal is her certification in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. This innovative approach has proven highly effective in treating trauma and PTSD, offering clients a path to process painful memories and find relief from intrusive thoughts and emotions.

Tammy's philosophy centers on the belief that it's never too late to begin the healing process. She understands that past traumas can leave individuals feeling trapped in a cycle of fear, guilt, loneliness, and shame. With empathy and expertise, she works alongside her clients to identify and process these traumatic experiences, freeing them to focus on present joys and future aspirations. Her approach is one of hope and empowerment, gently guiding clients towards a life of freedom and renewed purpose.

Whether working with individuals or facilitating group therapy sessions, Tammy creates an environment of trust and understanding.
