Tammie Makely, LMFT

Feeling overwhelmed in your relationship? Struggling to connect with your partner or to move past hurt and resentment? You're not alone. Many couples face insurmountable challenges, but there is hope and a way forward. As a specialist in couples therapy and marriage counseling, I'm dedicated to helping couples navigate the complexities of their relationships, rebuild trust, and deepen their connection.

With a Master’s of Science in Marriage Family Child Counseling obtained in 2011 and a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology in 2009, my educational background has equipped me with a deep understanding of the dynamics within relationships. Trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I also bring valuable tools for addressing individual trauma that can impact a relationship.

My expertise lies in guiding couples through the healing process, particularly after the pain of infidelity, using the Gottman Method — a research-based approach known for its effectiveness in improving marital satisfaction. Additionally, as a Certified Anger Management Specialist, I support individuals and couples in understanding and transforming anger into healthier communication and interactions.

Clients appreciate my down-to-earth, friendly, and calming presence, creating a safe and comfortable environment for both partners to explore their feelings, understand each other's perspectives, and work collaboratively towards a stronger, more fulfilling relationship.

Whether dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, or issues stemming from sexual addiction or childhood experiences, I am here to support you. My goal is to help you and your partner find your way back to each other, to heal, and to enjoy a healthier, more loving relationship. I look forward to being a part of your journey towards healing and happiness.
