DR. TAMA LANE
Meet Dr.Tama Lane
Meet Dr. Tama Lane, a globally experienced psychologist whose work bridges continents and disciplines. From designing trauma recovery programs for children to guiding adults through relationship transitions and cultural adaptation, her career reflects a rare blend of clinical depth and real-world insight. Now based in Stockholm, she continues to explore the evolving landscape of emotional health, cultural identity, and cross-cultural resilience.
Dr. Lane is also a strategist and consultant reshaping how trauma, resilience, and emotional legacy are understood in the modern world. With a doctorate in clinical psychology, she champions a progressive, deeply empathetic approach to human thriving — transcending traditional therapy models to address the complex realities individuals and families face today. Her work spans from decoding emotional wounds to influencing systems — consulting on displacement, intergenerational trauma, and the psychological impact of migration. She advocates for trauma-informed policy, spatial equity, and emotional justice across borders.
Over the course of her career, Dr. Lane has worked across the emotional landscapes of trauma, resilience, and healing. From the clinics of France and England to torture treatment centers in New York and Irbid, Jordan, she has served survivors of war, political violence, and generational harm. Her work has included emergency room evaluations in Chicago’s public hospitals, therapeutic interventions for children impacted by sexual abuse and Female Genital Cutting (FGC), and inpatient psychiatric care.
As former Clinical Director of Evergreen Meadow Academy, Dr. Lane designed and implemented an innovative program to empower young girls in the aftermath of trauma. She continues to support the academy’s mission as a member of its Advisory Board, advocating for programs that turn adversity into resilience and growth.
Her expertise extends beyond traditional therapy. Dr. Lane’s work in trauma healing has been featured in TED Talks, endorsed by leading mental health advocates, and cited in multiple publications and podcasts exploring the connection between mental and physical health.
In recent years, Dr. Lane has expanded her work to meet the growing demand for non-clinical support systems. She designs tailored programs for children, families, and communities navigating complex emotional challenges—recognizing that healing doesn’t always happen within the walls of a therapy room. Her consulting increasingly addresses the psychological impact of displacement, forced migration, and inherited trauma—particularly within systems unprepared to meet the mental health needs of marginalized or relocated populations. As an international strategist, Dr. Lane helps individuals and institutions confront personal and structural barriers to mental health, with an emphasis on clarity, dignity, and sustainable change.

Are we defined by our experiences — or do we define them?
The answer, of course, is complex. Every experience leaves an imprint — joyful, heartbreaking, or somewhere in between. True flourishing demands more than resilience; it requires understanding the stories we’ve inherited, challenging the patterns we’ve absorbed, and consciously rewriting our own.
This journey begins with dialogue — not surface-level conversations, but honest, disruptive, transformative exchanges. Together, we explore the unspoken territories of emotional legacy, mental health, cultural identity, and human potential.
Collective Trauma: Our Shared Scars, Our Shared Strength
Trauma doesn't just belong to individuals — it echoes across families, communities, and cultures. From war to pandemics, displacement to systemic oppression, collective trauma weaves through generations. This space helps you understand how shared emotional wounds shape behavior, belief systems, and relationships — and how awareness becomes the first step toward healing, both individually and together.
Unpacking the Mind: Own the Language, Rewrite the Labels
Let’s get one thing straight: bipolar isn’t just mood swings, OCD isn’t a cleaning quirk, and depression isn’t cured with a walk in the sun. Mental health has been miscast in punchlines, misquoted in culture, and misunderstood for far too long. This section pulls back the curtain—breaking down complex realities with clarity, cutting through stereotypes with science, and handing you the vocabulary to talk about mental health like it actually matters. Because it does.
Chromatic Wellness: BIPOC Mental Health & Its Intersectional Realityf History
Mental health in BIPOC communities isn’t a single story—it’s a mosaic of overlapping identities, systemic hurdles, and generational wounds. In this section, we examine how race, culture, socioeconomic status, and historical trauma intersect to shape emotional well-being. Through an intersectional lens, we unpack stigma, explore inherited patterns, and offer grounded insight into what resilience looks like when it’s forged at the margins. Because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all—and for BIPOC communities, it never has been.
Trauma & Resilience: From Shadows to Light
Navigating trauma is like walking a tightrope across invisible wounds—grief, fear, and silence often linger just beneath the surface. But trauma doesn’t get the final word. This section discusses how healing unfolds not in straight lines, but in spirals—through remembering, reframing, and reclaiming. Resilience isn’t about bouncing back to who we were; it’s about becoming someone new through what we’ve survived.
This section explores how individuals and communities adapt after trauma—navigating the long arc from harm to healing. We look at what fosters resilience not as a return to 'normal,' but as the creation of something sturdier, more self-defined.
Childhood Imprints: Understanding ACEs
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) leave lasting marks—not only on memory, but on brain development, stress response, and long-term health. In this section, we unpack how early adversity echoes into adulthood, influencing relationships, regulation, and resilience. But awareness is power. By understanding these imprints, we gain the insight needed to interrupt cycles, rewrite patterns, and chart a more intentional path forward.
