Tammy Locascio, LCSW, LCAS

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS). I received my Masters from the East Carolina University and have been practicing for over a decade. I help children and adults with depressed moods, stress, substance misuse, bereavement and low self-worth to become the best versions of themselves. My hope is to provide you with skilled and compassionate therapeutic assistance to overcome challenges. In therapy, I prefer to use a combination of Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and motivational enhancement strategies to help people understand what drives them, identify barriers to the change they seek and develop the skills necessary to become the persons they were created to be. As a therapist and person of faith, I am committed to providing high-quality, person-centered services. Faith-based counseling incorporates good clinical practice, biblical values and an understanding that there is a Counselor greater than us all, the Holy Spirit, who actively guides and directs the paths of those who believe. With counseling from a Biblical perspective, many people have found the source of inner healing through the word of God and prayer. It is my mission to help those discover this way of life and experience freedom from anxiety, depression, addictions, mental turmoil, unhealthy thinking patterns and low self-esteem by focusing on living and fulfilling your purpose. Your goals and values provide the context for everything I do. I am committed to providing services free from judgment, stigma, and shame. And you can feel comfortable incorporating your spirituality into sessions as much or as little, as you wish.
