About Tammy
Tammy Vermeer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, trauma and life changes. She has 15 years of experience and offers straightforward, practical support for problems like addiction, parenting stress, low self-esteem, anger, career uncertainty and bipolar mood challenges. Tammy listens to each person's story without judgment.
She treats the details people bring from their past as part of what shapes the present.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what each person wants to change and on small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. Her work mixes narrative ideas with therapies that focus on thoughts and behavior. Tammy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and act on it, even when feelings are difficult. Sessions can include client-centered conversation and, when useful, hypnotherapy techniques to support relaxation and new ways of thinking. Tammy aims to keep the room practical and respectful, helping people try different approaches until something fits.
People who come for therapy can expect a calm, steady approach and help making realistic plans. Tammy supports LGBT clients and those coping with family or parenting stress, and she works with people dealing with addiction and bereavement. Her goal is to help people build skills that last beyond sessions.
