Tamara York, LSCSW

Tamara York is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) licensed in Kansas with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and attention and focus difficulties often described as ADHD. Her practice also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family problems, and a range of related concerns.

Tamara draws on long experience working with school systems to help parents navigate school-related issues. She listens to practical details and helps sort out options for communicating with teachers, staff, and other adults involved in a child’s day-to-day life. This can be useful for parents adjusting to blended household routines and the school schedule.

In sessions she keeps the conversation direct and practical. She encourages people to talk through what is happening now and to identify small, doable steps. Expect a focus on improving communication, managing anger or panic, and developing routines that support concentration and day-to-day tasks.

Her background includes decades in clinical practice across a range of concerns from mood disorders to obsessive-compulsive symptoms and caregiver stress. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems such as panic attacks, compulsive behaviors, and attachment issues.

People often come to her looking for help with major life changes, divorce and separation, blended family issues, or ongoing stress from caregiving. She helps individuals clarify goals, try different strategies, and measure what works over time.
