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.
Welcome! I’m Ashley, and I’m passionate about supporting clients on their journey toward healing and growth. I have over nine years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I specialize in trauma-informed care as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My background includes a Master’s in School Counseling where I gained internship experience in both elementary and high school settings. I support individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, trauma, grief/loss, and women’s issues. While I have worked with clients of all backgrounds, I do also offer Christian counseling, if requested, for those who wish to incorporate faith into the therapeutic process.
"Welcome to my virtual couch—where breath steadies, the heart softens, and the journey unfolds, I am De'Lisa Hill, let’s walk it together.” Here, your story is met with compassion, curiosity, and clinical wisdom. Together, we’ll revive what’s been withered, rebuild what’s been worn down, reveal what’s been hidden beneath the surface, and move toward restoration with intention.
For more than 18 years, I have walked with adolescents (16-20), adults (21-90), couples, and leaders through seasons of transition, healing, and rebuilding. My approach blends clinical precision with deep compassion. Clients describe my presence as grounding, clarifying, and restorative — a space where they can exhale, be fully seen, and begin again without shame or pressure.
I help you untangle the internal knots created by stress, trauma, relational ruptures, identity confusion, and life transitions. Whether you’re navigating emotional overwhelm, burnout, marital/couples' strain, spiritual fatigue, or the quiet ache of feeling “stuck,” my role is to help you reconnect with your clarity, your agency, and your capacity to thrive.
Hi, I'm Arlene!
As a therapist, I possess extensive experience in behavioral health, crisis intervention, and assisting individuals with substance use issues. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCASA), with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families in overcoming mental health and addiction challenges. I provide an open, non-judgmental environment that allows you to connect with yourself, fostering growth, healing, and hope for the future. My aspiration is to assist you in becoming the best version of yourself.
Let's get started on this journey together!
I'm so glad you're here! I love working with new moms, helping them navigate the transition into their new role, and high achieving women who have learned to self silence and/or suppress their needs. Helping women navigate any of the challenging transitions of life (newly separated/divorced, new jobs, new relationship, college admission/graduation) is a real passion of mine!
If you have been feeling stuck and having difficulty with motivation or decision paralysis, I can help with that! If you have been struggling to experience joy, let's talk!

Hi, I’m Tammy. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation—a two-sided dialogue built on warmth, compassion, and a genuine desire to understand your unique story.
As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe and open-minded environment where we can work together to turn your challenges into strengths
I have been in private practice for 20 years with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. My style is informed from my diverse experience. I have worked in adolescent residential treatment, FBI consulting, an expert witness and a graduate school professorship; all the while working with my private practice clients. In the last several years, I have been sought out as a corporate consultant and speaker to discuss how our negative experiences and traumas shape our behaviors as high intensity professionals.
The untapped magnificence I see in my clients never ceases to inspire and amaze me. Anyone who is willing to do hard work is already a gift to this World! I've grown bored of many things in my life but this work....never!
I believe every individual has the capacity and courage to learn, grow, and make positive choices for their present and future. Throughout my career, I have worked with people to strengthen mental health, improve academic and professional performance, and build skills for long-term success. I continued to be humbled by the determination people have to tackle challenges and hardships to improve their quality of life.
My journey to becoming a provider has given me a unique perspective on resilience and growth. I immigrated to the United States from Rwanda in my early twenties, learned English from the ground up, and worked my way through multiple degrees while gaining diverse life experience. This background helps me connect with clients from all walks of life and understand the challenges of navigating complex systems.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) dedicated to supporting individuals, families, youth, and children in achieving emotional wellness and personal growth. With a strong clinical foundation and diverse experience across outpatient, inpatient, and community-based settings, I provide comprehensive, client-centered care tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping Black women navigate relationship trauma, chronic stress, and the emotional toll of high-functioning expectations. My work focuses on attachment patterns, emotional regulation, and restoring a grounded sense of self. I practice through a trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens and prioritize a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empowerment, and shared decision-making. Healing requires both safety and accountability — and I hold space for both. My clinical background includes collaborative work within integrated care models, partnering with psychiatric providers to ensure comprehensive biopsychosocial treatment planning. I value coordinated care that honors both scientific rigor and relational depth. In addition to clinical practice, I serve as Board Member and Co-Chair for BraveWorks, contributing to strategic leadership and mental health advocacy initiatives. I am currently pursuing certification through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), expanding my clinical expertise in relational and sexual health through specialized training and supervised practice. I am also a mental health writer and speaker focused on trauma-informed care, emotional resilience, and relational healing for Black women. I welcome opportunities for workshops, panel discussions, podcast interviews, and professional collaborations centered on culturally responsive mental health care.


Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for family therapists in Durham starts with finding someone who understands the relationships and patterns involved, not just one person’s experience. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, family estrangement, and communication breakdowns across generations. Look for a therapist whose profile lists family counselling and therapy, experience with therapy for family problems, or training that fits your needs. Family therapists often work with the relational system, which means they may help family members understand roles, patterns, and interactions together.
In a mid-sized city like Durham, you may find a range of Durham therapists with different specialties, office locations, and appointment formats. In-person care may be useful when several family members plan to attend from the same area, while virtual appointments can make scheduling easier when family members live in different places or have varied routines. Session attendance can also vary by need, including the full family, specific family members, or individual sessions connected to the larger family work. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how they describe their approach, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Durham can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare Durham, NC therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before your first session. You can search by insurance, specialty, appointment format, and availability, then book directly when you find a therapist who matches your family’s needs and accepts your plan.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
