Tami Leffler
she/her
Tami
is a therapist at Two Chairs.
Tami is an energetic partner in the therapeutic alliance. She looks for the client’s strengths and encourages them to recognize them for themselves. She believes that emotions are a vital part of being a human but that they can gain control of one’s life if not regulated. She feels that clients often have the solutions for their challenges; they just don’t always see them clearly. Tami is a good sounding board and is full of ideas for success. She can empathize when clients are facing difficult challenges but always encourages her clients to see beyond the challenge and push forward.
Tami has a cute little terrier puppy who is all about fun! She often is found playing fetch with a dog with what seems to be unlimited energy. Tami has a son who lives with her and enjoys going on day trips, dining, and to movies on Sunday afternoons.
