Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, accepted, and supported. For more than 13 years, I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, women's issues, and stress. I've also supported individuals navigating crisis, childhood and domestic abuse, co-dependency, and self-esteem concerns. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your experiences, recognize your strengths, and begin moving toward the life you want at a pace that feels comfortable.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and my main focus is helping minors and adults address problematic sexual behaviors, men’s issues, and the unique experiences of those who identify as LGBTQ+.

I also work with couples who are navigating the challenges of polyamory and exploring healthy relationship dynamics.

I offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive space for clients to explore challenges related to substance use, codependency, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Hello, I’m Dr. Tandrea Elmore, and I am honored to support you as you begin or continue your counseling journey. I believe that seeking help is a courageous step, and I am committed to providing a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can work toward healing and personal growth. I have over 20 years of experience in working with children and families, but I have been a licensed counselor for almost 8 years.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Auburn University, a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Community Agency Counseling from Troy University, and a Doctor of Education from Northcentral University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified School Counselor, and Certified Vocational Forensic Evaluator. These credentials, combined with my experience, allow me to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care tailored to each client's unique needs.

My mission is to help individuals achieve greater mental and emotional wellness. As a dedicated therapist, I am passionate about promoting both mental and physical well-being and empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. I believe it is okay to not be okay—but you do not have to stay there.

My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, life transitions, and overall mental and emotional wellness. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, balance, and a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I provide experiential-based counseling services for all ages. It is important to me that you have an experience in therapy that is uniquely yours. Standard talk therapy is not for everyone and that is why I offer other options that you may find more therapeutic and beneficial. During your intake consultation, I will help you choose a path that will best meet your needs.

Are you feeling stuck in repeating patterns, struggling in relationships, or carrying stress that feels hard to untangle alone? I help individuals, couples, and families better understand themselves, improve communication, and create lasting change. With decades of experience in counseling, community mental health, and private practice, I offer a warm, thoughtful approach grounded in deep listening and practical guidance. My work focuses on relationship issues, anxiety, life transitions, family conflict, and personal growth.

I'm a social worker with over a decade of fieldwork with various populations in numerous settings. My breadth of experience affords me special insight into and a deep passion for infertility, perinatal and postpartum struggles, chronic illness, and military life. Working together is mutually beneficial: I get to put years of schooling and experience into practice, and you get to work towards improved overall wellness.

You may already know why you overfunction, people-please, silence yourself, or keep repeating patterns in relationships that leave you drained. Insight matters, but it is not the finish line. I help people turn what they know into boundaries, emotional self-trust, and choices that reflect the life they are ready to lead.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist, a nationally certified counselor, a former adjunct psychology instructor in higher education, and the founder of Mental Health Monarchs. With more than 15 years of experience in mental health, including 6 years as a therapist, I work with adults navigating childhood trauma, emotional neglect, family dysfunction, identity concerns, and toxic relationship patterns.

My style is intuitive, culturally grounded, curious, and compassion-forward. We’ll explore what is underneath your patterns without making therapy feel stiff or overly clinical. We can leave the work voice outside. I’m not code-switching with you. Cool?

This space is best suited for people who are ready for honest reflection and willing to begin using new tools in real time, in real life. I give homework.
