Tamara Rigsby

Hello!
My name is Tamara and I’m an intern with Chicago Therapy and Wellness. I am currently pursuing my Master of Social Work at UIC. I am passionate about helping clients process and remedy trauma, enabling them to reclaim their lives. I strive to help clients grow closer to the version of themselves they aspire to be. My therapeutic approach is dependent upon the client’s intentions and goals, as I recognize each individual has a unique journey. Generally, I enjoy using techniques such as mindfulness, CBT, and strengths-based training within sessions. My special areas of interest include OCD, depression, and interpersonal relationships. My philosophy of care is to empower each client to take initiative over their lives with renewed confidence, using the skills, tools, and knowledge from therapeutic practice. I look forward to talking to you and hearing your story.
