About Tammy

Dr. Tammy Sutterfield offers focused, individualized care for people managing stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, and depression.

Background and approach

With an emphasis on meeting each person where they are, she tailors sessions to the client’s current needs and goals while drawing on a variety of trauma-informed and attachment-oriented methods.

Her practice also attends to specialized concerns such as aging and geriatric topics, cancer and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, midlife shifts, non-monogamous relationships and kink culture, and process addictions. Dr.

Sutterfield brings 12 years of clinical experience and holds LPC licensure with CO LPC LPC.0005763 and TX LPC 15055. She trained in clinical psychology and behavioral health through undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral programs and supplemented that foundation with advanced work related to sex therapy and alternative adult relationship dynamics.

Her approach blends attachment-based work, emotionally focused techniques, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to create a practical, compassionate path forward. She welcomes inquiries from English-speaking clients in Colorado and frames therapy as a collaborative process designed to adapt as needs change.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Dr. Tammy Sutterfield uses a blend of attachment-based therapy and emotionally focused therapy to explore patterns in relationships and strengthen emotional connection. Attachment-based work looks at how early relational patterns shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating, which can be useful for relationship distress, intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes. Emotionally focused therapy focuses on identifying and restructuring interactions that maintain distress, guiding clients toward clearer expression of needs and deeper emotional responsiveness.

She also incorporates EMDR for trauma-focused processing when appropriate. EMDR uses guided attention and bilateral stimulation to help process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing associations, and it is often used alongside other therapeutic strategies. Throughout online work she emphasizes collaboration - the therapist and client determine which approaches fit best based on the client’s history, symptoms, goals, and preferences so the plan can evolve over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from different locations within the licensed area, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward treatment goals.
