Hi, I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel difficult, especially if you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. With over 20 years of experience in social work and mental health, I’ve worked with individuals and families navigating trauma, stress, and life challenges in both community and clinical settings.

My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Together, we’ll work at your pace to better understand what you’re going through and begin building a path forward that feels manageable and meaningful.

Clients should know that I am deeply committed to creating a space where honesty, healing and emotional safety can exist without judgment. I understand that coming to therapy often requires courage, especially when life feels overwhelming, complicated, or uncertain. My approach is grounded in respect, authenticity, and clinical integrity. I value the therapeutic relationship and believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel seen, heard, and understood - not rushed, dismissed, or judged.

I bring both professional expertise and real-world understanding into my work. Due to having worked in a forensic psychiatric setting for over 16 years, I have experience working with complex emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related challenges. I approach each client with the belief that behavior is often a response to pain, and healing begins when we understand the story behind the behavior.

Clients should also know that I am direct, compassionate, and intentional in my work. I will support you, but I will also gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is not just to help you cope, but to help you grow, heal, and move toward a more grounded and peaceful version of yourself. I deeply respect each client’s pace and process. You are not expected to have everything figured out when you arrive. Therapy is a space for exploration, reflection, and growth.

Above all, I believe that healing is possible, change is achievable, and no one is too far gone to begin again.

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.

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.

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.
