Tamar holds a license in clinical social work and has a private therapy practice in Crestone, Colorado where she works with clients across the life span. Her diagnostic orientation in the western tradition is psychodynamic, existential and feminist (addressing social, cultural and political factors impacting mental health) with a special interest in working with attachment issues and complex developmental trauma. As a Hakomi trained therapist, Tamar integrates bottom-up approaches in her work– utilizing a variety of somatic and nervous system regulation tools – along with talk and play therapy for all ages. Systems are her ‘jam’, from the intra-personal (parts work), through families and small group processes to large scale community group processes. Tamar has advanced training working with young children (8 and under) and their families, and in small group process work - helping clients deepen their ability to access and communicate with emotional depth. She has become familiar with altered states of consciousness through 25+ years of meditation practice, including long periods of solitary retreat, and a life-long art practice. Her training with psychedelics, including, psilocybin, has been ongoing with a seasoned underground practitioner, other longtime guides, and the many wonderful other guides-in-training whom she continues to work with. She offers individual and group therapy and medicine work and is leaning ever-more into exploring the collective healing potential of combining sacred medicines with ancient and modern shamanic practices brings in group settings.
