Beyond her work with clients at Clearwater Counselling; Tamara currently supervises Provisional Psychologists, provides workshops on grief and trauma, and works with a specialized team of professionals surrounding Somatic disorders, bridging the mind/body connection at the Children's Hospital. Tamara has taught Couple Counselling at the graduate level and Childhood Development classes at the University level. Currently she has been involved with workshops surrounding grief and loss, trauma and the art of forgiveness and mindfulness. As a system therapist she is trained in working with couples and families through a system lens, which focuses on patterns. Tamara has been in private practice for 13 years and developed Clearwater Counselling through the desire to have a company that puts the client first by applying the best therapeutic technique for that individual, couple or family. In my work with Treaty 6, my experience has introduced many components of spirituality and the value of a holistic approach to healing. As a psychologist Tamara stays current by taking courses and attending webinars and conferences. Research and scientific exploration continue to expand Tamara's knowledge of how our complex brain and body work, how our relationships can hinder or help our health and wellness. Therapy is the work we can do together, building on your perspective and hopes collaboratively to develop skills that bring us closer to your goals, and a sense of calm and contentment. In her private life Tamara is active with her husband, children, their passions and some of her own. This includes life on an acreage with horses, donkeys, dogs, chickens and various motor vehicles. Clearwater Counselling is a client-focused business with compassionate people with the common goal of supporting their communities, and clientele.
