My name is Tamera Valentine -most people know me as Tami. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), a licensed addictions counselor (LAC), a registered nurse (RN), a licensed school counselor, and a licensed teacher.  

​

My husband I live in southern Colorado. We have been married for 27 years. We have four adult children and enjoy spending time with them. We own a ranch and raise cattle and quarter horses. When I'm not working or ranching, I enjoy running, painting, playing the piano, and working in my yard.

​

I chose to pursue a career in behavioral health because it gives me the opportunity to work with amazing individuals and families in facilitating their change and growth to become the healthiest version of themselves. 

​

People often ask me if I get tired or burned out in this profession. While one might think a therapist could become more jaded over time, I have actually found the opposite to be true. The longer I work in this profession the more I feel hope, optimism, and inspiration, as I watch people make remarkable progress towards increased peace, motivation, and confidence.
