About Tamara
I’m Tamara Hendrix Campbell. Most people call me Tammy.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of clinical experience and 17 years in private practice. I hold a bachelor’s degree in cultural anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical social work. My background in anthropology continues to shape my interest in relationships, family systems, identity, culture, and the meanings people make of their lives.
My postgraduate education includes doctoral study at the Institute for Clinical Social Work, where I studied psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theory and completed a year of analytically oriented clinical supervision. In fall 2026, I will begin ICSW’s 8-month certification in Integrative Psychoanalytic Couple Work.
My way of working is active, relational, and direct. I pay close attention to unconscious processes, transference, countertransference, and what develops in the actual relationship between us.
I am passionately engaged, emotionally present, and willing to speak honestly about what I notice. I pay close attention to my own internal responses, holding them carefully as possible sources of clinical information and bringing them into the work when doing so may serve the treatment.
My Approach
Contemporary relational psychoanalytic theory provides the organizing foundation of my work. It offers a way of understanding unconscious patterns, early relational experiences, internal conflicts, defenses, and the ways the past remains active in present relationships.
The relationship between us is a central part of this work. Relational patterns are not only discussed as something that happens elsewhere. They also emerge directly between us. Attending carefully to what unfolds in the room can create opportunities for new relational experiences and meaningful change.
I use somatic techniques and parts-based language to support deeper psychoanalytic work. These approaches can help you remain present with difficult emotional material, make internal conflicts and defenses more tangible, and deepen the work in ways that respect the needs and limits of the nervous system.

My current openings are for couples therapy and clinical consultation.
