About Tammy

Dr. Tammy Sutterfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and issues such as ADHD, addictions, grief, and coping with life changes. She also works with matters related to aging and geriatric issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, cancer, and non-traditional relationship or sexual cultures. Sessions are conducted in English.

Her clinical work draws on attachment-based approaches, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She uses practical strategies alongside conversation to address symptoms and patterns. That can mean learning grounding and mindfulness skills, mapping how past attachments affect present relationships, or using trauma-focused interventions when trauma is central.

Tammy’s background includes graduate study in clinical psychology and behavioral health up through the doctoral level. She has professional training related to sex therapy and work with alternative adult relationships. Her formal title is LPC and she holds Colorado licensure as stated.

In sessions she aims to help people identify what feels most urgent, and then try focused steps to change it. Work can include skill building for stress and attention, processing grief and loss, addressing compulsive behaviors, or improving emotional connection in relationships. The emphasis is practical - what to try between meetings and how to notice change.

People considering therapy are encouraged to use the matching process and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits. International clients are not supported; services are offered in English and operate under the credentials listed above.

How her methods translate to remote work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early attachment habits show up in adult relationships and offers ways to notice and shift interaction patterns. This approach can help when relationship dynamics, intimacy, or repeated conflicts are a central concern.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and reform how they express emotion in relationships. EFT sessions often include moments of guided reflection and practiced conversations to build stronger emotional responses. EFT is commonly used when improving emotional connection or handling attachment injuries matters.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused intervention that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. In a session this can involve brief sets of bilateral stimulation paired with recalling targeted memories or sensations as the clinician guides the pace.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify priorities, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative testing helps tailor the work to goals, tolerances, and preferences.

The original biography does not specify which remote formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling. They also let people use methods like mindfulness exercises, EMDR processing, and emotionally-focused interventions without needing to rearrange major commitments.
