Why Tamara Fass, LMSW chose to be in the helping profession

For me, being a trauma specialist is more than just a job – it's a true calling. What drove me to pursue this path was my deep admiration for the trailblazers in psychological trauma treatment. These pioneers faced doubt and resistance, yet they persevered in their groundbreaking research, ultimately developing some of the most powerful and life-changing treatment models we have today.

Seeing their unwavering commitment and the impact of their work left an indelible mark on me. It sparked a profound realization of the incredible privilege and responsibility that comes with openly offering trauma therapy to those in need. I firmly believe that everyone should have access to the most effective and transformative therapeutic approaches available. I feel truly honored to have the opportunity to carry forward and champion the best practices and theories in trauma treatment.

This calling to the helping profession allows me to play a role in transforming lives and empowering individuals to heal from their traumatic experiences. It's a deeply meaningful and rewarding journey, one that I am grateful to be on every single day.

Tamara Fass, LMSW's approach

As I delved deeper into the world of trauma therapy, I found myself captivated by the groundbreaking PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) model. Its unique principles and methodologies stood out to me, offering a fresh perspective on couples therapy that held the potential to address the limitations of traditional approaches.

The more I learned about PACT, the more I realized its transformative power. I felt a strong pull to become part of a movement dedicated to bringing this innovative approach to couples in need. It was a calling I couldn't ignore.

At the core of my beliefs lies the conviction that our community deserves access to the most effective and cutting-edge therapeutic methods available. By embracing modalities like PACT, I am making a conscious choice to prioritize the well-being of those I serve. It's my way of expressing my unwavering commitment to making a tangible, positive impact on the lives of the couples who come to me for support.

Through this approach, I aim to empower couples with the tools and insights they need to navigate the complexities of their relationships. By integrating the principles of PACT into my practice, I strive to create a safe space where couples can heal, grow, and strengthen their bonds in ways they never thought possible.

Tamara Fass, LMSW's experience working with the Jewish community

Throughout my professional journey, I have been deeply connected to the Jewish community, and this connection has played a significant role in shaping my approach to therapy. As a member of the community myself, I have developed a deep understanding and appreciation for the rich traditions, values, and diverse needs of Jewish individuals and families.

My own Jewish identity serves as a guiding light in my work, allowing me to approach each client with a profound sense of empathy and respect. I recognize that for many within the Jewish community, spiritual growth and psychological healing are intimately intertwined. As such, I have made it a priority to ensure that my therapeutic support not only acknowledges but also honors this important connection.

When working with clients from the Jewish community, I bring a unique perspective that is informed by my own experiences and understanding of Jewish life. However, I also maintain a deep respect for the fact that each individual's journey is their own, shaped by their personal beliefs, experiences, and relationship with their faith.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where my clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their pursuit of both emotional well-being and spiritual growth. Whether they are deeply connected to their Jewish identity or are grappling with questions of faith and belonging, I am committed to meeting them where they are and providing the guidance and support they need to navigate their unique challenges.

As a therapist, I feel incredibly privileged to serve the Jewish community and to be a part of each client's journey towards greater self-understanding, resilience, and fulfillment. By bringing together my professional expertise and my deep respect for Jewish tradition and values, I strive to offer a therapeutic experience that is both culturally sensitive and personally transformative.
