Tammie Makely, LMFT

Tammie Makely is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She aims to make starting therapy feel like a manageable step rather than an overwhelming leap. She creates an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what is happening now and what people want to change. She listens closely and helps identify small, practical steps that fit into everyday life. Tammie works with people who are coping with loss and with those navigating hard relationship moments. She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment fears, body image concerns, and caregiver stress. Other areas she addresses include communication problems, control issues, and decisions around divorce and separation. Her practice pays attention to how guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, money worries, and questions about life purpose affect daily mood and behavior. She helps people notice patterns and try different ways of responding that can reduce distress. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-world changes. Tammie speaks English and practices in California as an LMFT. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to meet each person with calm, steady support.
