Meet our Bloomfield, NJ Counselor:

Tamara O’Shea, MAT, LAMFT


Sometimes we believe negative things about ourselves that keep us stuck because we have a self-critical voice inside us.

Sometimes we feel held back from realizing our potential because of a deep-rooted identity in shame.

Together, we can explore these issues, working alongside each other, and with thoughtful understanding and encouragement, help you find freedom from the critical voice we often hear in ourselves.

Tamara takes a direct and positive approach to counseling, identifying your strengths and building on those strengths to help you find fulfillment and peace. She uses the therapeutic technique that best aligns with helping you heal.

Tamara has her LAMFT from Liberty University and her MAT in Art Therapy from New York University, and is Certified in PREPARE/ENRICH Premarital and Marriage Counseling.

Our office is in the Brookdale Reformed Church at the corner edge of Brookdale Park in Bloomfield, NJ, a township of roughly 55,000 people in Essex County. Bloomfield is approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes from New York City but is still considered a suburb. It is surrounded by Cedar Grove, Glen Ridge, Montclair, the Oranges, and Verona. It is a nature lover’s paradise and, as a result, has been voted one of the best places to live. Approximately 48% of its inhabitants are married. The median age of Bloomfield’s residents is 37, making it a relatively young city. 85% of its residents work in White Collar industries. We work with the residents of Bloomfield, and the surrounding towns, to find hope and healing and make lasting changes.
