A believer in the power of the mind, Tamar combines contemporary schools of psychotherapy with an eclectic, ever dynamic personal style of therapy that adapts to each individual's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on approach to problem-solving. Its goal is to change patterns of thinking or behaviours that cause people's difficulties, and thus change the way they feel during and handle incidents. She also uses Psychoanalytic Talk to encourage clients to vocalize their problems and painful life events in a supportive and non-judgemental environment, therefore gaining the chance to receive new insights, reducing stress, gaining ability to share in a caring space, and learning coping mechanisms. She is recognized for her care and compassion, patient-oriented approach, and for promoting self-empowerment.
