About Tammy
Dr. Tammy Sutterfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She offers straightforward support for intimacy-related issues, addictions, ADHD, trauma, and relationship concerns. Her tone is practical and focused on real-world coping skills.
She trained in clinical psychology and behavioral health at undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels and brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work. Her background includes work with alternative adult relationships and related sexual health questions through study with the Modern Sex Therapy Institute. The profile lists LPC as her credential.
In sessions she draws on practices such as mindfulness, attachment-based approaches, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns and shift how they respond. She also uses EMDR and motivational interviewing when those approaches fit a person's needs. The emphasis is on tailoring methods to each person rather than using one fixed method.
Work in the room is collaborative and practical. People learn skills to reduce overwhelm, manage cravings, handle difficult emotions, and improve communication. She also supports people facing long-term health concerns, caregiving strain, and aging-related stress.
Her practice is located in Colorado and she conducts therapy in English. The next step is to use the site Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to notice thoughts, emotions, and bodily tension. It helps people reduce reactivity and build steady coping skills for stress, chronic pain, or strong emotions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people change interaction cycles, feel more understood, and improve communication in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, past efforts, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and may shift as needs change.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online appointments useful for fitting sessions around work, caregiving, or medical care. Online sessions can make it easier to keep routine check-ins, shorten follow-up visits, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist when you schedule about which format and schedule best match your needs and daily routine.
