Meet Tamara Listinsky
Your Reno Therapist
About Me:
I believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling, meaningful and happy life regardless of life experiences, emotions, age or health. I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping others in the process of healing, and being a companion in this journey. To me, it is a privilege to hold a private space for others where there is no judgement and is safe to overcome emotional pain.
Therapy isn’t one size fits all…
I use a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach to therapy:
My clinical training includes evidence-based approaches, allowing me to adapt therapy to your needs, goals, age and experience rather than relying on a single method:
Clinical Approach
Specialized Training
Sometimes you feel an emotional pain that is so deep you can’t find words to express it…
The weight of those unspoken emotions can easily become overwhelming and heavy, leaving us feeling alone and isolated. You may show that things are well, but inside it feels a mess.
People often tell me that they “don’t want to be a burden”, so they stay quiet, and suffer alone.
Thoughts that “it’s all in my head” or “others have it worse than me” often stem from fear, shame or embarrassment that pushes the pain deeper until life becomes numb and joyless.
I hear you…
Feeling misunderstood, disconnected and lonely is real.
… you don’t have to carry this alone. If you’re ready to talk, we can start here.
What is it like to work with me?
The journey to healing shouldn’t be lonely
You don’t need to have everything figured out
Its ok to not know where to start or what’s wrong.
Safety & Trust come first
Especially when working through difficult emotions, sessions move at a pace that is comfortable for you.
A collaborative journey
My approach is to work together and adjust as you evolve and grow in your journey.
Therapy can be engaging
Depending on your needs, therapy may include evidence-based approaches, experiential techniques and nature-based therapy.
Change the Cycle
Going beyond just looking at patterns, we’ll work on strategies to change the cycle that keeps you stuck.
Confidence & Clarity
Find meaning and self-compassion as success, failures and changes in life shape your thoughts and emotions.
A comfortable place to begin…
Come home… literally
My Reno office was once a home that has been thoughtfully converted into office spaces, giving our sessions the comfortable feel of a living room.
I provide therapy and workshops in English or Spanish, in-person in Reno and online throughout Nevada.
Hours are by appointment only, Monday through Thursday starting in the late afternoon.
I’m a licensed therapist experienced working in government, therapy agencies, higher education, k to 12 schools, with clients across the lifespan – from kids to adults of different cultural backgrounds.

The Process of Therapy
How it starts:
Let’s Connect
We start where you’d like to begin. Whether it’s learning about each other or sharing your story, we’ll have a comfortable conversation in a space to safely open up.
Understand
Therapy is a wonderful process that leads to discover the unexpected and seeing your life in a new way. I refer to this process as ‘peeling the onion’. We take one layer off at a time, getting to understand the root cause of fear, doubt, and other difficult emotions.
Build
Sometimes we know the life we want, but can you envision it? Often starting with a blurry vision of your future, we’ll work together to shape it and make it real. I’ll be your support and guide in nourishing your inner strength.
Move Forward
Reaching the end of therapy means living life with clarity and confidence. The conclusion of therapy is a time that reflects the hidden strengths you’ve always had, but now they shine.
