Coast Counseling & Healing

---

Licensed Therapist and Advocate for Sustainable Healing

Hi. I'm Tamara, a licensed psychotherapist and President of Coast Counseling & Healing, a wellness practice serving residents in Florida and Delaware. I'm also an adjunct educator, providing clinical supervision for graduate level clinicians.

I specialize in working with clients who choose therapy intentionally. My practice is for people who are ready for depth, ready for honesty, and ready for meaningful change. You’re looking for a therapist who can walk with you through the deeper layers of your experience and help you create a life that feels aligned and fully your own. 

Across my career, I’ve supported lawyers, physicians, business owners, educators, therapists and caregivers; people who carry a great deal, often quietly. Clients seek me out when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the parts of themselves that once felt confident and creative. I help you slow down, understand your patterns, and develop practical, evidence‑based tools that support long‑term sustainability. I have seen remarkable transformations.

I often utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy for professionals and individuals who want success without burning out or feeling disconnected. My work blends clinical rigor with deep empathy, helping clients build emotional resilience and reconnect with a grounded sense of self. My experience working in outpatient and community mental health clinics, as well as university counseling centers have no doubt contributed to my success.

I’m also passionate about advocacy. It has brought me great joy to support organizations that create awareness campaigns, educational materials, and supportive resources that center dignity and empowerment.

How I Work

Clients describe my style as warm, intentional, and practical. I integrate evidence‑based strategies with reflective conversation and a deep respect for each person’s story. My work is spiritually inclusive and culturally responsive, honoring the full complexity of who you are. 

Treatment is unique to every individual. I am committed to helping you recognize your strengths and restore balance. Change is facilitated by listening to your concerns and creating a collaborative, customizable treatment plan and goals for care.

 A sense of aliveness comes from therapy, as the individual sees life with interest, imagination, creativity, hope and joy, rather than with dread, boredom, hate and bigotry. -Sharf
