About Tammy

Dr. Tammy Sutterfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by life transitions.

She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addiction behaviors, intimacy questions, and identity-related concerns. Her approach blends practical skills and emotional work. She uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to name and shift painful emotions.

Background and approach

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her trauma-focused toolbox when past events keep returning. Tammy focuses on plain language and clear steps during sessions. She draws from mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people build small, doable changes.

Sessions aim to be collaborative, with goals set together and adjusted over time. Her background includes graduate study in clinical psychology and behavioral health, culminating in a doctorate. That training, plus years in practice, informs how she supports people facing complex issues like chronic illness, caregiving stress, midlife change, and non-traditional sexual cultures such as BDSM and polyamory.

She offers therapy in English from Colorado and uses a range of online formats. People who want a candid, pragmatic therapist will find a steady, experienced clinician who focuses on clear next steps.

Online support

How her methods translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people spot patterns in how they connect and respond in relationships, and online sessions can be used to practice different ways of relating in real time. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on naming and shifting painful emotions to change how someone responds in close relationships, which works well in video or phone sessions where feelings are explored and reflected back. EMDR is used as a trauma-focused method to reduce the intensity of disturbing memories; certain EMDR techniques can be adapted for use over video with guidance and pacing adapted to the client.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust the plan together if something does not feel helpful. That collaborative stance helps ensure the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing work between sessions and offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving demands. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
