Life has been very stressful lately. I've spoken with hundreds of people recently who are feeling at least a little stressed or down. Most people I talk with wait a long time before getting into therapy. Why continue to wait? Do you want to have a better relationship with anxiety? Are your anxious or self-critical thoughts keeping you down? Are you ready to try something new? I use a holistic approach with several research-based interventions including CBT, Heart Math, and Solution-Focused Therapy,

I earned a Masters of Science in Clinical Counseling from Wright State University in 2007. I have been practicing Mental Health Counseling for 18 years and have worked in several different settings including outpatient therapy, mobile crisis, employee assistance, department of defense, veterans and private practice.

Together, we will develop a comprehensive plan so that you can get the tools you need to help you reach your goals. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and for that I appreciate you. Please contact me to see if we're a good fit.

I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hey — I'm genuinely glad you're here. I'm Tamika, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in North Carolina. I work with adults, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, family conflict, addiction, and the kind of stress that builds quietly over time until it's hard to ignore. I specialize in working with Black and BIPOC clients, women, and families who want a therapist who truly gets the cultural and personal context of their lives — not just a clinical checklist. My practice is fully telehealth, so you can access support from anywhere in North Carolina without the commute or the waiting room. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and other major insurance plans, because access to quality mental health care shouldn't be a financial obstacle.
