About

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I am Dr. Tamela Sadler. I currently live in Tennessee and am licensed here and also in Hawaii along with carrying PsyPact credentials. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their journey toward greater well-being and self-understanding. As a psychologist, I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly heard and understood. My goal is to partner with you, helping you better understand yourself and your journey as we work together through life’s challenges. Every person’s journey is unique, and I’m committed to supporting you in navigating this process.

Education & Licensure
PhD in Counseling Psychology from Tennessee State University, Nashville, TN; Masters in Counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University, Nashville, TN; Bachelors in Psychology from the Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with autistic adult evaluations stems from a deep respect for neurodiversity and a passion for fostering a space where every individual feels valued and empowered. I am inspired by the strengths, perspectives, and resilience of the autistic community, and I strive to provide support that honors each person’s unique experiences. My goal is to help individuals better understand themselves in context, navigate challenges, build on their strengths, and develop skills that enhance their daily lives and relationships. Together, we can work toward a life where you feel understood, supported, and able to thrive.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I prioritize an affirming and strengths-based approach to ensure that every individual feels seen, valued, and empowered. I believe that each person possesses unique strengths and abilities that can be harnessed to navigate challenges and achieve personal goals. I create a safe space where people can express themselves authentically.
