Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Asheville, NC

Life is HARD sometimes.

Maybe you are emotionally exhausted and find there are days you don't want to get out of bed.

Maybe you worry too much about the future and you are sick and tired of friends saying, "you think too much!" Maybe you can't say "NO!"

Or, maybe a loved one is concerned about you and wants you to see someone.

If you find your struggles are getting in the way of your goals and dreams, there IS hope. Therapy can help.

I believe healing happens through connection. I work collaboratively with clients, guiding them to understand the roots of their struggles, develop healthier coping skills, and build a life of balance and purpose. I bring authenticity, insight, and gentle honesty into my sessions.

I specialize in working with interpersonal conflict, behavioral issues, anxiety, life cycle transitions, depression, and helping clients recognize and build on strengths to overcome challenges.

I am a bilingual clinical social worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of trauma, depression, and anxiety. My practice is built on a fundamental belief: you possess the internal power to reflect on your life, understand yourself from new perspectives, and integrate meaningful changes.

I am the co-director of Cohoba, a nonprofit operating as a community arts and mental health hub in the VAPA Center: you can visit www.cohoba.org for more information.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the social work field. I have a Bachelor of Science in Human Services at the University of Delaware and a Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University. Treatment areas I specialize in include working with Latinx individuals, parenting skills for all ages, empowering women struggling with anxiety and/or an unhealthy relationship, adolescents, diabetes & ADHD diagnosis and management processing.

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.
