Tamela Schaap

Tamela is a warm and non-judgmental therapist who creates a safe, supportive space for clients to explore truth in their experiences and move toward peace and self-acceptance. She welcomes both Christian and non-Christian clients. Tamela specializes in trauma, including emotional abuse, domestic abuse, neglect, spiritual abuse, and divorce, drawing from approaches such as TF-CBT, DBT, and EMDR.

With experience working in domestic violence agencies, psychiatric hospitals, and multidisciplinary teams, Tamela is passionate about empowering adults and older adolescents to embrace their authentic selves without fear of judgment. She values inclusivity for all cultural, gender, and sexual identities. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, playing piano, reading, and, as a mother of three, she brings empathy and life experience to her work, helping clients navigate life’s transitions with compassion and confidence.
