Dr. Tamara McFarland

Play & Creative Therapies

Tamara started her career as a child and teen therapist specializing in play therapy. With time, she determined the critical need of working with parents to change parenting strategies. Parents needed to heal their own attachment wounds in order to help heal their struggling children. Tamara maintains her early play therapy, sand tray therapy and creative therapy credentials and skills today because they continue to inform and aid in the healing of attachment wounds in families.
