Reaching out for counselling is a meaningful step, and it looks different for everyone. I believe healing happens when people feel safe, seen, and supported in ways that honour their unique stories. I strive to offer a therapeutic space where you can explore challenges openly and move toward greater clarity and balance.
I have extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, women, and families across the lifespan. My work is focused on trauma-informed, culturally responsive counselling. I have extensive experience supporting women through the perinatal period and working with single mothers navigating complex life transitions. I also have experience supporting individuals impacted by gender-based violence, including intimate partner violence and human trafficking.
I bring a compassionate, strengths-based approach to therapy, grounded in an understanding of how trauma, systemic oppression, and lived experience shape mental health and wellbeing. I support clients navigating trauma recovery, self-esteem, identity, life transitions, and emotional regulation, while fostering safety, empowerment, and resilience.
As a mother of two and a professional deeply committed to holistic care, I have a strong interest in perinatal and family mental health. My practice is guided by anti-oppressive, client-centered principles and a deep respect for each person’s cultural context, values, and voice.

I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist whose work is rooted in Black mental health, trauma‑informed care, and anti‑oppressive practice. I support clients with compassion, cultural humility, and a deep understanding of how identity, systemic barriers, and lived experience shape emotional wellbeing.
I create a space where clients can show up fully without shrinking, and without having to explain their existence. My approach honours the strength, resilience, and complexity within Black communities while also acknowledging the impact of racism, intergenerational trauma, migration stories, family expectations, and the pressure to “hold everything together.”
I work collaboratively with clients navigating anxiety, stress, identity exploration, life transitions, and the emotional weight of being “the strong one.” I integrate strengths‑based practice, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and culturally responsive frameworks to help clients reconnect with themselves, build coping strategies, and move toward healing at their own pace.
I am committed to providing therapy that is affirming, accessible, and grounded in dignity and respect.
Tamara is currently accepting clients and offers a warm, non‑judgmental space for Black individuals seeking support, clarity, and healing.

Connecting Deeply for Peace of Mind
At Awakening Counselling and Consulting Services, Inc., our work is rooted in one guiding belief:
when people are supported in connecting deeply with themselves, meaningful healing and lasting peace of mind become possible.
We understand that life’s challenges—trauma, stress, relationships, identity concerns, burnout, and major transitions—can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unseen. Our role is to offer a calm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where clients can slow down, feel safe, and begin to make sense of their experiences.
Awakening Counselling and Consulting Services, Inc. provides trauma-informed, culturally responsive counselling and psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families, and communities. We honour the complexity of each person’s story and recognize that healing takes place within relationships, lived experiences, and broader systems. Our approach integrates evidence-based practices with relational, client-centred care, always guided by respect, collaboration, and dignity.
We believe therapy is not about fixing or pathologizing people. It is about walking alongside clients as they reconnect with their inner wisdom, strengths, and values—supporting deeper self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience. Through this process of connection, clients are better able to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
At its heart, Awakening is about connection:
connection to self, connection to others, and connection to a sense of balance and wellbeing.
