Out of the shadows of your responsibilities, and back into your own life.

Tammy James, MSW, LCSW, LISW-CP

I am a therapist passionate about helping people uncover their true selves and build lives aligned with their deepest values. I know how easy it is to lose sight of those values; for years, I was an expert ‘over-functioner.’ In trying to hold everything together under a growing mountain of responsibilities, I began to slowly disappear. That experience is why I am so dedicated to helping you step out of the shadows of your responsibilities and back into your own life.

My practice is grounded in Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST), a therapeutic approach that helps individuals understand how relational dynamics and emotional patterns influence their lives. With advanced clinical training in BFST, I support clients navigating a range of challenges, including parenting, separation, divorce, codependency, over-functioning, major life transitions, stress, anxiety, and depression through the lens of relational insight and emotional clarity.

Together, we’ll explore how past family dynamics and current relationships influence your emotional responses. Our work will help you develop a stronger sense of self and greater emotional resilience.

I’m licensed to provide therapy in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.

— The Approach

Bowen Family Systems Theory.

A relational, multigenerational lens. We look at how the people, patterns, and pressures around you have shaped how you think, feel, and respond — and we slowly build a more solid you, one that can stay connected without disappearing.
