Our Professional Team

TAMARA L. TENCER, PSY.D. - Owner As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and PSYPACT telehealth approved provider, with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Tencer and her Team consider it a privilege to offer meaningful, helpful work to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Through a genuine caregiving, positive lens, they provide support to others. The care individuals receive is characterized by achieving an inner well-being that remains stable and conflict-free regardless of life obstacles, and daily ups and downs. With the Inner Humanism approach, an individual can strengthen their self-confidence, develop their inner strengths, reach their potential, establish healthy relationships, and mourn losses due to grief and life stress. They help individuals adjust to life changes, and heal through a culturally sensitive, socially aware lens. Services are available in both the English and Spanish language.
