Tammara kamei
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC-MHSP
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming. Individuals may experience intense worry about being judged, embarrassed, criticized, or rejected in social situations. Our practice provides professional social anxiety counseling and anxiety therapy for individuals who struggle with social interactions, public speaking, meeting new people, workplace situations, school environments, relationships, or other social settings.
Social anxiety may contribute to avoidance, isolation, low self-confidence, excessive worry, physical anxiety symptoms, or difficulty developing meaningful relationships. Without support, these patterns can interfere with work, education, relationships, and everyday activities. We help clients identify anxiety triggers, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping and communication skills, strengthen confidence, and gradually become more comfortable navigating social situations. Through individualized therapy for social anxiety, we help clients work toward greater confidence, connection, and emotional freedom.

Chattanooga has undergone a remarkable urban transformation over the past two decades — from a polluted post-industrial city to a nationally recognized model of revitalization anchored by the Tennessee Aquarium, a thriving outdoor economy, and a world-class broadband infrastructure — and its therapy community reflects a city coming into its own, with growing demand from young professionals, creatives, and outdoor enthusiasts relocating from other metros. The city has significant African American communities in Alton Park, East Chattanooga, and other historically Black neighborhoods, and therapists offering culturally affirming care and racial identity work are an important part of the local landscape. CHI Memorial Hospital and Erlanger Health System provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Chattanooga's outdoor recreation culture — anchored by Lookout Mountain, the Tennessee River Gorge, and proximity to Appalachian trails — shapes a therapy community with distinct interest in the intersection of nature, physical health, and mental well-being.
