Hello
My name is Tamara Snyder, and I am so honored to be the Director of Counseling at the Hope Center!
I believe in the power of change and the strengths that can be developed during life's challenging times. It is during those times an individual can experience personal growth, by strengthening the self and accessing new areas. Sometimes in life we can find ourselves in a storm, unable to see outside of it. I utilize a supportive collaborative integrative approach for clients, together, deciding what approach will best meet their needs.
I aim to provide a safe supportive environment focused on the uniqueness of each individual, the 'whole' person, personal growth, and the power of change. I see counseling a collaborative journey between client and counselor seeking to obtain new direction, insight, and skills while navigating through the storm, in order to improve their quality and enjoyment of life. I want my clients to leave feeling empowered, possessing a sense of control, and equipped with the abilities to handle what the future may bring.
Life is a gift, and life is too short to not enjoy the true beauty of living.
