About Tammy

Dr. Tammy Sutterfield is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or major life changes.

She also supports those managing addiction, ADHD, intimacy concerns, trauma, and relationship-related challenges. Tammy uses practical, down-to-earth language in sessions so people know what to expect. Her approach blends emotion-focused work with attachment ideas to address how people connect and respond to one another.

Background and approach

She also uses EMDR for trauma-related memories and mindfulness and motivational interviewing to strengthen coping and change. Sessions focus on the here-and-now feelings that matter, and on small steps clients can use between meetings. Tammy’s training includes clinical psychology and behavioral health at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels.

Her background includes work with alternative adult relationship dynamics and related sexual health topics. That experience informs how she talks about issues like polyamory, kink, and non-monogamous arrangements. In practical terms, she offers multiple online session formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

Sessions are delivered in English and are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Tammy encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire to find a good fit. People who choose her often want a direct, emotionally-aware therapist who combines emotion-focused therapy with trauma tools and practical skills.

She aims to create a clear plan with each person and to adjust that plan as needs change.

Online support

Emotion-focused and trauma-aware care online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong feelings and learn how those emotions shape relationships and behavior. It is useful when patterns of disconnection, anger, or withdrawal keep showing up and getting in the way of daily life.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship experiences affect current ways of relating and coping. It can help people notice repeating patterns and try new ways of asking for support and safety in relationships.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories to reduce their intensity and the distress they cause. It is often used for trauma and abuse-related symptoms and for memories that keep triggering reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful, then together they will try approaches that match those needs. Plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy weeks or when travel is necessary.
