Tereaka Powell

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hello, I provide virtual mental health therapy to teens and adults across North Carolina. With nine years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate a wide range of social and emotional challenges.

I LOVE being a therapist! It brings immense joy to support clients during their lowest moments and witness their transformation into healthier, more empowered versions of themselves. The resilience of my clients has truly been remarkable and inspiring.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in social work from North Carolina Central University and my master’s degree in social work from East Carolina University. Over the years, I have worked in community mental health, a psychiatric hospital, mobile crisis intervention, and outpatient therapy settings.

I’m so glad you’re taking this important step toward prioritizing your mental health. Life can bring unexpected challenges, and at times, it may feel overwhelming or isolating. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, or burnout, please know that you are not alone.

With the right tools and support, you can navigate these challenges and discover effective solutions that empower you to move forward. Your struggles do not define you, and together, we can uncover the strategies that work best for you—helping you build a more fulfilling and authentic life.

If you feel I might be the right person to support you on this journey, I encourage you to take that first step today and schedule an appointment.

Hello, I’m happy to meet you and begin working with you as a therapist who specializes in trauma. The following information includes my professional background, the therapeutic services I provide, and the rights and responsibilities that will guide our work together. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you have.

My Education and Experience: I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminology, a master’s degree in Sociology with a clinical emphasis, a doctoral degree in Applied Sociology with a clinical specialization, and I’m a Certified Clinical Sociologist through the Association of Applied and Clinical Sociology. I completed a master’s degree in clinical social work (MSW) with a specialization in Trauma and Interpersonal Violence in 2022 and am a fully licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I earned my previous degrees in Kentucky from Western Kentucky University and the University of Louisville. I completed my MSW through Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts. My past clinical work has focused on family preservation and child welfare through in-home crisis intervention, family reunification services, parenting education and independent living skills, supervised visitation for children residing in foster care, and custodial mediation and visitation for co-parenting separated or divorced couples. I’ve also worked for the states of Kentucky and Virginia as a child welfare analyst, consultant, and educator. Additional work has included forensic interviewing, case management support for child advocacy centers, and expert testimony in court cases involving child maltreatment and domestic violence as a Qualified Mental Health Professional in (QMHP) Virginia and Kentucky.
