About Tammy
Tammy Foster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in California and brings 22 years of experience to her work. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and major life changes. Her tone is warm and interactive, and she aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable for worried parents and busy adults.
Tammy began her practice working as an addiction specialist and interventionist and spent time managing an adolescent treatment center in Northern California. That early work shaped her understanding of substance use, codependency, and attachment concerns. Over two decades she has supported people dealing with career setbacks, intimacy issues, and the fallout from trauma and loss.
Her sessions blend a person-centered focus with several evidence-informed methods. Tammy uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for emotional regulation. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused techniques when relationship patterns and closeness are at issue.
In the room she listens for strengths and practical steps. She offers coaching-style guidance alongside therapeutic work to help clients move toward concrete goals. Conversations are aimed at small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.
Tammy describes her work as a partnership. She supports people who want clearer communication, steadier mood, or healthier boundaries. Many of her clients come hoping to find relief from depression and to rebuild a sense of balance and direction.
