02 · In Tami's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
My name is Tami and I am licensed in Florida with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, LGBTQAI+-related issues, & relationship issues, and so much more. In my vast experience of working in a facility and private practice, there are few issues that come to me now, that I haven't seen and counseled before. I worked at an addiction facility for approximately 3 years, doing evaluations in the jail, to get people out of jail and into treatment where they belonged. Because I believe no one should be in jail for an addiction issue. I do free counseling for combat veterans through a program called Give An Hour. I am probably not your traditional counselor, in the sense that I don't only use a single approach or a particular counseling theory, I use a more eclectic view, wherein, I gear the approach to each client individually, meeting them where they are in their life. Experience has taught me that each and every client I have had the honor of working with, is an individual and there is no cookie cutter approach that works for everyone. So after I meet each client for the first time, I decide what approach will work best for them. I am of the theory of treating a person holistically because people aren't just a condition or disorder they have, they are a person independent of whatever issues they are experiencing. I work with my clients to create an open, honest, and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change, in order to become the best version of yourself. My job is to offer you the tools you need and help you gain confidence in yourself to make the changes that you want to see and be able to move forward without the need of a counselor in the future. I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.

03 · What happens next
Tami 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 Tami'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 Tami at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Tami 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 Tami.
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.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Tami actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Tami's - Tami has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
