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.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 11 years of healthcare experience. Before specializing in psychiatry, I worked in the Burn ICU and outpatient procedural settings, where I learned the importance of caring for the whole person during some of life’s most difficult moments. I earned my nursing degree from UNC Chapel Hill and my Master of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, and especially enjoy helping people navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes—like school, relationships, career stress, or grief—that can leave us feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Matthews

Finding the right therapist in Matthews starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Licensed providers in the area offer support for a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. You may also want to consider the type of provider — such as a licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), psychologist, or psychiatrist — depending on whether you're looking for talk therapy, medication management, or both.

With many providers practicing in Matthews and nearby communities like Mint Hill, Indian Trail, and Stallings, narrowing your options can take time. Think about what matters most to you: a provider's specialty, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and their approach to care. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in the Charlotte metro area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Matthews and see estimated session costs before you book.
