Meet Tamera L. Fontenot

Are Emotional Patterns or Difficult Experiences Affecting Your Life?

You may be coping with anxiety, grief, trauma-related reactions, relationship difficulties, or an unwanted habit that has been hard to change on your own.

Tamera “Tam” Fontenot is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. Licensed since 1999, she combines counseling experience with clinical hypnosis to provide personalized care for individuals, couples, families, children, and teenagers.

Clinical Hypnosis Within Counseling

Address Both Conscious and Automatic Responses

Clinical hypnosis is one of several therapeutic tools Tam may incorporate when it supports your needs and treatment plan.

Working together may help you:

  • Feel calmer and more emotionally regulated
  • Recognize patterns connected with past experiences
  • Develop healthier coping responses
  • Change an unwanted habit
  • Strengthen confidence and personal agency
  • Prepare for challenging situations
  • Move through grief or a difficult transition

You remain an active participant throughout the process and do not lose personal control.

Areas of Focus

What Would You Like Help With?

You should consider contacting Tam for support involving:

  • Stress, anxiety, or depression
  • Trauma-related symptoms
  • Grief and loss
  • Fears and phobias
  • Unwanted habits or addictive behaviors
  • Smoking cessation
  • Relationship or family difficulties
  • Confidence and self-esteem
  • Medical-procedure preparation
  • Pain-management support
  • Athletic, academic, or professional performance

The services used depend on your clinical needs, treatment goals, and whether additional medical or psychiatric care is required.

Why Might You Choose Tamera Fontenot in St. Petersburg?

If smoking, anxiety, trauma, grief, or another unwanted pattern is connected to broader emotional or relationship concerns, Tamera Fontenot offers clinical hypnosis within a licensed mental-health counseling practice.

Licensed in Florida since 1999, Tam can evaluate whether hypnosis fits your needs and integrate it with counseling strategies when appropriate. This may benefit you if you want support that considers the wider context of your emotional health rather than addressing one habit in isolation.

An Integrated Clinical Approach

Your sessions may incorporate clinical hypnosis, guided imagery, Parts Therapy, breathwork, cognitive and behavioral strategies, or self-hypnosis instruction.

Depending upon your needs, this work may help you:

  • Identify emotional and situational triggers
  • Develop healthier responses to stress
  • Strengthen emotional self-regulation
  • Address fears or unwanted habits
  • Process grief or difficult transitions
  • Improve confidence and personal agency
  • Reinforce smoking-cessation goals

You remain an active participant, and hypnosis is used only when Tam considers it clinically appropriate for your treatment plan.

Support Through Different Life Stages

Tam works with children, teenagers, adults, seniors, couples, and families. She also has experience with trauma recovery, adoption-related concerns, relationship difficulties, and developmental transitions.

This broad background may be helpful when your concern affects more than one part of your life or involves other family members.
