About Tara Trammell

My name is Tara Trammell. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of South Carolina with 17+ years of experience working as a Therapist with the South Carolina Department of Mental Health . I am a wife, mother and soon-to-be grandmother. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, stress and ADHD. In addition, I have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, and person-centered therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you! Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.

“Tars is the absolute best❤️”

“Tara has been awesome throughout this entire process. I have done therapy with other therapists in the past, but Tara is the first and only one I felt truly understands me. She listens to my concerns and give me valuable and practical advice based on her own life experiences. She never rushes me through our calls or makes me feel like I am wasting her time, and she always encourages me to message her anytime I feel the need. I would feel 100% comfortable recommending her to anyone.”
