My name Tamiko, in Japanese, means child of the people, or in better terms, people-person. I have always been drawn to helping people and guiding them in the right direction. I have had a long journey of mental health and have also walked with others through their darkest times. I approach everyone with acceptance and empathy when it comes to talking about the most personal of times. I always say be unapologetically yourself. I have lived in Dallas since 2006 and I call myself a native. I graduated from The University of Arkansas in 2019 with my Bachelors in Communications. In 2021, I made the decision to pursue my Masters in Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington. I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with my Masters in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health and Substance Abuse.
I have been working in Addiction Psychiatry since 2016. Before working with Dr. Lee Spencer, I was with UT Southwestern Outpatient Psychiatry for two years with the Addiction team. I’m also a Certified Medical Office Assistant with the American Association of Medical Assistants. My training and experience come from work at the Center for Addiction and Recovery Studies and Casa Colina Treatment. I have further trained in eye movement desensitization reprocessing therapy (EMDR). Working on the clinical side of psychiatry for many years has given me a unique insight as well. Through my real experience and personal life experience, I will help you develop tools and come to solutions that empower you to change behaviors and ultimately your life.
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker and I am supervised by Amanda Kendig by LCSW-S. She may be contacted at (214)-274-1311.
