I am delighted to introduce our newest therapist, Tamar Back.
Tamar and I first met over a year ago when she reached out to express interest in Out of the Woods Therapy. Since then we have been plotting and planning for her to join the team and now she’s officially ready to take new clients!
In my experience with Tamar, I’ve found her to be a fantastic listener who leads with curiosity and a soft, yet confident presence.
She’s excited to work with adult individuals as well as couples, poly-relational clients, and even has this super cool idea of offering therapy for friendships. (Like couples therapy…but for besties).
Tamar graduated from the same Master’s program in Human Sexuality as I had several years prior. I fully and shamelessly admit that I was very excited to talk with another Widener graduate who was interested in moving to Asheville. Tamar completed the dual degree program and earned an MSW in addition to the M.Ed.
Tamar also grew up in my home state of New Jersey - although I am from the south in the Pine Barrens and Tamar is from the northern part of the Garden State. I was so excited to meet her because of some of the things we shared in common and because her resume displayed an obvious interest in sex therapy, experience as a sex educator for Planned Parenthood, abortion doula, experience helping people navigate sex and sexuality through a cancer diagnosis, pelvic pain, and more.
Tamar’s availability is pretty rad, too. Lots of clients are looking for evening and weekend options and that can be challenging to find.
Tamar will soon be able to take BCBS insurance, but in the meantime she can accept clients at a private pay rate. Feel free to learn about Tamar in her own words and send an email or appointment request directly from her profile here.
