My name is Tami Vitale.  I am a Professional Counselor and Wellness/Life Coach at LifeWork Counseling.  I received a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in Chicago.  I am also certified as a Wellness/Life Coach through Wellcoaches Corporation/ACSM.  I obtained an Undergraduate Business Degree in Accounting/Marketing from the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California.  I worked in Marketing and Public Relations for over 11 years before raising a family.  While raising my 2 children as a single-mom, I transitioned into Life Coaching and Psychology.

I bring considerable life experience into my role as a counselor.  I follow a holistic approach in dealing and coping with human stress while increasing life satisfaction.  My focus is in building self-confidence by harnessing the strengths individuals need to overcome obstacles.  A healthy self combines high self-esteem with the belief that one has value.  In my work I integrate counseling, spirituality, and wellness in working with highly functioning individuals addressing challenges, transitions, and life style change.  This includes assisting individuals in developing new skills and empowerment strategies that encourage personal growth and balance.  I look forward to meeting with you and finding a path that works for you.

In my personal life I am very active, traveling to the California coast whenever possible.  I love warm weather and the ocean, and I am an avid exerciser-biking, walking, jogging, lifting weights.  I am a sports fan, particularly college football.  My involvement in the community is also rewarding.
