About me

My name is Tara Trammell. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of South Carolina with 17+ years of experience working as a Therapist with the South Carolina Department of Mental Health . I worked with children, adolescents and adults, with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, social anxiety, low self-esteem issues, adjustment concerns, grief and loss, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My loyalty is to my client. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral,
and person-centered. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.

She's great! She made me feel so comfortable since the first session we had and has made me feel welcome and didn't make me feel judged or rushed or anything like that. She let me ramble, she gives great advice and didn't just make me feel like another client she was just trying to get through. She makes me feel seen and heard. Love her! 10/10 would recommend

Ms. Tara provided warm and welcoming sessions, while keeping it professional. She sent me several cognitive exercises and went through them with me step by step incase I had any questions before the session ended. Ms. Tara was also very responsive to all messages sent, she responded with care, support, and solutions. I would and do recommend her!

Tara is wonderful! She has been so compassionate and helpful to me while I have been going through a difficult time. She is so easy to talk to, understanding, and goes above and beyond to help in any way she can. She is by far the best therapist I have ever had and I plan to continue seeing her for at least a few more months to work on some other issues in my life.
