Dr. Tama Lane holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and brings global depth to her work across trauma recovery, cultural identity, and emotional legacy. A vocal advocate for modernizing mental health, she challenges the field’s tendency to overlook how race, culture, spirituality, and lived experience shape our inner worlds.
Her clinical work has spanned public hospitals, psychiatric units, and trauma recovery programs—from France and England to Jordan, New York, and Chicago. But her mission has always been clear: to help people dismantle inherited emotional patterns and and restore emotional agency.
Though she no longer practices in New York, Dr. Lane continues to shape the conversation through writing, consulting, and cross-cultural dialogue. 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.
At her core, Dr. Lane is a builder. Whether developing creative wellness platforms, contributing to cultural discourse, or mentoring future changemakers, she remains a catalytic force in the evolving landscape of mental health. She also serves as an Advisory Board Member for EGMA.
