About M. Tamara Lee, PMHNP

Since becoming a nurse in 1994, Tamara Lee’s primary focus has been to work with individuals with mental health needs. She strives to recognize each person for his or her strengths and challenges. She believes in the primacy of caring, and through listening and learning about each person that she works with, she can then partner with that person to decide on a treatment plan that works for them. Tamara makes an effort to keep up with the ever-evolving scientific understanding of the brain and body, and how best to support a person’s optimal ability to function. With the goal of achieving health and well-being, she embraces a bio/psycho/spiritual approach to symptom management. Tamara enjoys spending time with her husband, children, and friends outside of work. She volunteers several hours annually to support her daughter’s high school’s athletic and choral booster clubs. She loves spending time in the mountains, and enjoys skiing, hiking, swimming, and biking. Tamara knows health is a daily practice that requires commitment, she believes in the importance of educating and empowering each person she works with to understand the identified health concerns, what treatment options there may be, and the rationale for these.
