Testimonials
“ I have worked with Tamara for nearly a decade. Tamara's extensive training & clinical experience means that she has a vast breadth and depth of knowledge contextualising her therapeutic approach. When Tamara is working with individuals she is helping to elevate people's lived experience by shifting their narratives to create change. This is a powerful and effective approach enabling her clients to have more functional & fulfilling connections both within themselves and with others.”

Systems Therapist, South Arica
"Tamara’s style of work is amazing- she incorporates the whole family dynamics and doesn’t just look at an individual in isolation. We initially went there for our one child (who she helped), but she also recognised that the other child needed therapy. She supported and guided me as a mother on this journey and played an integral part in assisting our family to change the dynamics that were at play. I would highly recommend her”

“I started seeing Dr. Maresky during a very challenging time for my mental health. From the start, she stood out from other providers by truly listening, remembering even small details from weeks before, and making me feel valued—despite my young age. Unlike many psychiatrists, she didn’t just prescribe medication but offered profound psychological insights and genuine care. When I first saw her, I’d rate my mental health as 2/10, but with her guidance, I improved to a 9/10. Tamara is by far the best psychiatrist I’ve ever seen.”

“Tamara is one of the most incisive, intelligent, and compassionate people I know. Whilst other people have helped get my head to where it needed to be, Tamara is firm with the anchor points and gentle with the delivery. Most people are the reverse."

“Tamara spotted a girl who seemed to be okay to the untrained eye, but inside was drowning in life’s big challenges. She coaxed her out of a spiked place of fear and into one of self-acceptance and love. The girl realised that “happy” wasn’t something you had to pretend to be.”

"Over the years, I had engaged with numerous mental health practitioners, but Dr. Maresky stood out as exceptional. She was the most accessible, personable, and genuinely caring professional we encountered. Her ability to communicate the bigger picture, guide us through the process, and balance medical treatments with alternative coping strategies was transformative. Her thoughtful care made all the difference in our journey, and I cannot recommend her highly enough."
