Meet Rabbi Kolton Ph.D. or as she prefers… Tamara

Rabbi Tamara Kolton Ph.D. is one of the most original and compelling voices in spiritual healing today.

For over 25 years, Tamara has stood at the intersection of psychology, mythology, and the Feminine Divine – helping thousands of people heal, reclaim their power, and reconnect with their deepest selves. As a licensed psychotherapist, independent rabbi, and bestselling author, she brings rare warmth, intellectual rigor, and raw authenticity to everything she does.

Her book Oranges for Eve: My Brave, Beautiful, Badass Journey to the Feminine Divine is a groundbreaking reimagining of Eve as a symbol of feminine courage and self-discovery. Her TEDx Detroit talk has inspired audiences far beyond Michigan, and her retreats, courses, and ceremonies have touched lives across the country.

Tamara is a gifted storyteller — playful, honest, and wise – who knows how to move an audience from laughter to tears to transformation.

"Our wounds are our most precious treasure maps. Although we would not choose them, they are our most loyal and direct paths to wholeness. Our wounds are sacred portals to our deepest self. They deserve to be honored, revered and embraced with compassion."

Words of Praise

Since my very first session with Tamara, I have felt so seen, heard, and safe. She listens with intent and allows me the space to express all of my feelings and emotions. She offers me advice by guiding me in the right direction and uplifting my confidence and self esteem. She has provided me the tools to work through situations on my own and I have grown so much as an individual because of her help. Tamara’s energy is warm and welcoming and I always walk away feeling better than I did at the start of the session. Thank you, Tamara, for opening a safe space for me whenever I need it.

We were honored to have worked with Rabbi Kolton. We were lucky to find a rabbi that catered to our interfaith ceremony. The most important aspect to us was a feeling of a personal experience, and Rabbi Kolton captured it perfectly, tailoring the entire process to our every wish. Our story of falling in love was interwoven seamlessly into the ceremony and our guests were engaged from beginning to end. We would highly recommend Rabbi Kolton to anyone looking for a unique and personalized touch!

It should make you feel like a saint to know that you were the 1st person I (and many others, I’m sure) thought of in our time of sadness, anxiety and need. I am so grateful that you have been part of my family’s life and history- and because of how you make us feel inside- calm, warm, safe, I could think of no other person I would comfortably turn to when my father was dying. Thank you for listening to our stories and for being there with us. My father would have smiled to know you were there with us. Thank you!
