Welcome! My name is Tameka and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia. I have 17+ years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home. Seeing my experiences can be a bit overwhelming, so I would like to break it down a bit more. I have the most experience working with clients experiencing Depression, Anxiety, Family Conflict, Self -Love, and LGBTQ+.
It is my belief that you have everything you need within you to live your best life and be your best self, however, unhealed wounds can slow that timeline of seeing that manifest. It is my goal to guide, educate, support, and empower my clients on their way to healing. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy.
I find great joy when my clients have that light bulb moment when they realize they in fact can be the captain of their healing/journey. I also understand that not everyone is of the mindset that they need healing and may require someone to help them build their personal road map of goals, I can also assist with that and would say I would serve in more of a coaching role for you.
Lastly, picking the right therapist can be scary, I would like to share that I find the therapeutic alliance as a collaboration of communication, honesty, and mutual respect. If you feel I am a good fit for you, I would love to walk alongside you as you explore your inner challenges and develop long-term solutions to those challenges.
Please note that I only see clients via phone or video sessions.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Life purpose, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Self-love, Women's issues

Tameka is amazing and is very interactive! She listens and provides tools needed to delve deep into the root issues. In all honesty, I was about to stop using BetterHelp until I started working with Tameka.

Tameka is as advertised. She does a good job of balancing listening with appropriate amount of offering advice and bringing up things I might not have considered. I really value having her as my therapist after going through several that didn’t fit. You’ll be happy you chose her :).

Tameka is incredible. She's patient, motivating, asks tough questions, and steadily guides me through the process. She clearly tailors the sessions to communicate how I best receive information (i.e. solution oriented!) and plants seeds that allow me to stumble into realizations at my own pace. Highly recommend.
