Tamara Grimm, MSW, LISW-CP (she/her)

As a feminist therapist, I am deeply committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that embraces equality, empowerment, and inclusivity for all persons, but especially for women and the LBGTQIA+ community. These groups face unique challenges: pay gaps, discrimination, gender and sexuality based violence, inequitable medical care, bias, gender role related expectations. It is my personal mission to help you navigate these structural hurdles in order to live fulfilling and joyous lives. In my practice, I strive to create a safe and affirming space where individuals of all genders and sexualities feel valued, respected, and heard.

I specialize in helping people overcome the issues that are keeping them stuck: gender identity and expression, sexuality concerns, relationship dynamics, body image and self esteem, trauma and abuse, reproductive health issues, societal expectations, depression, anxiety, work/life balance, disappointing or inadequate experiences navigating medical care.  

I completed my BA at Miami University (OH) in 2003 with a double major in psychology and comparative religion; minor in women's studies. I completed my MSW at University of Cincinnati in 2006. I am currently working on my dissertation for my PhD in social work at the University of South Carolina. I also have a graduate certificate in women and gender studies from USC. I'm specially trained in several evidence based therapies including: CBT, DBT, CPT, and yoga nidra.

I am really glad that you're here searching for a therapist. I understand that it sometimes takes weeks, months or years to come to a place where you're ready. You can expect a free phone consultation, quick responses to calls and texts, and an empathic, highly trained therapist.
