Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Tamara Folaron has been in practice 8 years and is licensed in Virginia. Tamara lists stress, Anxiety, anger management and self esteem among 10 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.

01 · Who Tamara works with
Tamara lists 5 specialisms and 5 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Tamara chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Tamara's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Healthy Mind Therapy provides compassionate, evidence-based counseling and clinical hypnotherapy for individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, chronic stress, health anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients create lasting emotional wellness by addressing both conscious and subconscious patterns.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Hypnotist, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Intrigal Eye Movement Treatment (IEMT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), somatic interventions, and clinical hypnosis. Each treatment plan is personalized to meet the unique needs and goals of every client.
What distinguishes my practice is a holistic, client-centered approach that combines evidence-based psychotherapy with mind-body techniques to promote lasting change rather than temporary symptom relief. I empower clients with practical skills to build resilience, process trauma, increase self-confidence, and improve overall well-being.
My mission is to provide a supportive environment where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to overcome challenges, restore hope, and create meaningful, lasting transformation.

03 · What happens next
Tamara practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Tamara's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Tamara at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Tamara is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Tamara.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

Tamara's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
