Tamala Floyd is a trailblazing therapist, author, and speaker whose work redefines the path to emotional healing and self-discovery. As a deeply compassionate and culturally attuned therapist, Tamala is celebrated for her ability to create safe, inclusive spaces where clients can explore vulnerability and unlock their inner strength. Through her work, Tamala not only addresses trauma but also inspires a profound sense of self-leadership and resilience by combining her clinical expertise rooted in her own journey of overcoming challenges and discovering the power of self-compassion.

With a masterful understanding of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy model, Tamala empowers individuals to embrace their inner complexity, fostering transformative healing by listening to the “parts” within themselves.

Tamala is actively shaping the future of mental health care, and her work is more than therapy; it’s a movement toward wholeness for individuals and communities alike.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong, and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting.
