My name is Tamara Ljubisic and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor by the State of Texas.
My graduate work in Counseling was done at Dallas Baptist University.  My undergraduate work focused on a double major in Business Management & Psychology.

It is my desire to make a difference in the lives of those I work with mind, body & spirit.  I do not think healing occurs in a bubble and treat people as whole, multifaceted beings.  I look at all of you and offer a 3D approach to your goals.  With a focus on ‘mind,’ this speaks to my formal training as well as informal learning, to walk with you as you explore the opportunity to grow.  With a focus on ‘body’, it is important to recognize that our body is as much a vehicle to change and balance as our mind.  I have been studying yoga, nutrition and somatic processing in addition to talk therapy, as it is only a part of the journey.  ‘Spirit’ is vital as it is my belief that we are not ‘soulless’ creatures that are born for a human experience but truly a dynamic mind-body-spirit interplay that requires balance to experience true peace and freedom.  It may be in the form of religion or spiritual exploration, I honor the path you are on and will work with you where you are.

When I work with a client it is often because a crisis has occurred and the pain of that situation is greater than the resources available.  My training is diverse in that I have worked in non profit agencies: Jewish Family Services & The Turning Point, PHP/IOP settings at Meier Clinics and in private practice.  What I have learned is that we all face difficult or stagnant times, no one person has all the answers and having a safe place to process thoughts and feelings does make a difference.  It has been a blessing to do my own work towards wholeness and I never ask something I am not or have not been willing to do personally.
