Tammy O'Rourke, MD, LCSW-C

Tammy O'Rourke is a Maryland-licensed clinician who offers a compassionate, client-centered approach to working with teens, families, couples, and individuals. She holds an MD (Doctor of Medicine) and an LCSW-C (licensed clinical social worker), combining medical and social work perspectives to address stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting concerns, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence issues, and the process of coping with life changes.

Tammy adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's distinct circumstances, prioritizing respect, sensitivity, and empathy throughout care. She supports clients in setting practical goals, strengthening communication, and building coping skills while attending to broader themes such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, codependency, commitment and control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife transitions, veteran and armed forces concerns, mood disorders, and seasonal affective disorder.

Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, Tammy frames the work as a collaborative process and provides steady support as clients move toward clearer direction and greater emotional steadiness. Her style centers on tailoring interventions to the individual's needs and on fostering improvements in relationships, daily functioning, and personal confidence.
