Female Therapists in East Amherst, NY

You just made the first step toward making a change in your life! Throughout our lives, we experience emotions such as anxiety, anger, sorrow, shame, depression, or worthlessness. Often they are the result of the loss of a loved one, unresolved conflict (at home, on the job &/or within oneself), trauma, loneliness or isolation. I believe that what we perceive as problems are really opportunities to make lasting improvements in ourselves and to become more fully human. Life is a series of transitions; we are all a work in progress, and can often benefit from help along the way.

In my work as a psychologist, I enjoy helping people develop their confidence, skills and satisfaction with their lives. I work with clients to develop our relationship and strive to be empathic, consistent and forthcoming. I bring my sense of humor to the work we do and encourage clients to be in touch with their own personal strengths. I hope to empower people to try new ways of thinking, feeling, behaving and interacting which move them in the direction of their goals. I help people gain a better understanding of themselves and their potential to improve their lives.

My passion is to be help people feel better. I'm easy to get along with, friendly, compassionate, and understanding. I hope that you will take the time to meet with me and see if we can work together to help you feel better soon.

My name is Tammy Kling LCSW, founder of Clear Skies Counseling, here to help you embrace the journey of healing and growth! My focus area is recovery from narcissistic abuse.

I will support you in a judgement free and safe confidential atmosphere. I would love to be part of your journey in growth and transformation! Remember, the trauma you have suffered in your life was NOT your fault!

Should I stay or should I go? Sometimes stress gets in the way of the life we planned. Getting stuck is never fun...whether it is you, your partner, your children or your job. We become anxious about what to do next because we fear making a mistake. We know that we have to do something because doing nothing makes it worse, not better! Sometimes we simply need some guidance in how to move forward...sometimes help in letting go. I have been helping struggling couples, individuals and families for 30 years. Let me help you.

I am so glad you are here! It’s often the most caring people who forget to care for themselves. Allowing yourself the time and space to attend to your needs is one of the greatest acts of love you can do for yourself and those in your life. I would love the opportunity to be a part of your journey as I have extensive experience working with young adults from many different backgrounds. My goal in our work together is to provide a safe, trauma-informed, and social justice-aligned space.

Everyone faces difficulties in life. These difficulties can be experienced as disappointment, challenge, adversity, or trauma. People cope with their struggles the best that they can with the resources they have available. When these difficult situations cause a person to have problems functioning, attaining their goals, or feeling satisfied with their life it can be helpful to work with a professional mental health therapist. This can help by having someone to talk with about their difficulties, especially if it is something traumatic that they struggle to share with other people in their life.

I consider myself an Adolescent Mental Health Specialist. Please contact me with your needs.

I believe that each person holds within themselves everything they need to heal and grow in the ways they would like. I see the therapist's role as being one in which provides an environment of safety and care where the client can explore themselves authentically. It is through this authentic exploration, that the therapist can help the client discover how patterns and ways of being are keeping the client stuck and resulting in suffering. By bringing into awareness these aspects, the client and therapist can then work collaboratively to release the pain and explore new ways of being.

All of us reach points in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck. It is easy sometimes to feel discouraged and alone. In those moments, we may lose our ability to feel joy, to see our strengths, to feel connection, and live to our full potential. This is when counseling can provide the safety and support we all need to confront our personal challenges and rediscover the beauty and resilience of our own hearts.
