Tammy Foster, LCSW

Tammy Foster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and anger. Tammy also supports people coping with career shifts, ADHD, bipolar issues, and life transitions.

Her background includes work as an addiction specialist, interventionist, and administrator at an adolescent treatment center in Northern California. That clinical history informs how she approaches substance-related concerns and recovery-focused conversations. She has worked with many people on codependency and attachment-related struggles.

Tammy’s style is interactive and client-centered. She leans on practical tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside attachment-based ideas. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, learning concrete skills, and practicing ways to manage emotion and behavior.

In sessions she mixes direct problem-solving with longer-term attention to relationship patterns. That can mean working on communication habits, boundaries, or how past attachments influence current reactions. She also uses motivational techniques to support change when clients want to reduce harmful behaviors or build healthier routines.

People often come for help managing anger that shows up at work or at home, or for support after a major life change. Tammy combines experience from clinical settings and private practice to offer steady, practical guidance focused on what works day to day.
