CUTV News Radio spotlights Tamara Powell of Arya Therapy Services

Pensacola, FL – ARYA is a Sanskrit word that has been translated to mean "not ordinary; noble; valuable; precious; and pure." According to Tamara Powell, an integrative healer, counseling should be as unique as the energies in the room: anything but ordinary!

Tamara Powell is an existentialist and the founder of Arya Therapy Services, where she combines traditional psychotherapy and faith-based counseling upon request with modalities that may be outside the cultural norm. Tamara’s ultimate goal is to help each of her clients feel empowered and lead a life that is truly authentic to them.

“Arya Therapy Services was born out of a desire for me to provide a real niche here in the Bible Belt; staying true to what the area holds sacred in terms of faith-based counseling, but also being diversity-affirming,” says Tamara. “That’s why I chose the word Arya for my practice. I’ve always wanted to stay a little different while still offering evidence-based, ethical counseling.”

Passionate about holistic health for the mind, body, and spirit, Tamara has set herself apart as a knowledgeable advocate and clinician in the LGBTQ+, polyamorous and kink communities. She says many of her clients first come to her because they’ve been hurt by the Church and don’t know how to reconcile it. Tamara provides a safe haven for individuals from all walks of life to explore the integration of their spirituality, sexuality and more.

“How do you separate your spirituality from your sexuality? You can’t!" says Tamara. "My job is to help them walk through that. A lot of what I do as a counselor is bear witness to their pain and give them permission to make another choice.”
