Tamika Earle

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Hi, I’m Tamika Earle, LISW-CP, a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel seen, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life.

I specialize in working with individuals who feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others. Many of my clients juggle multiple roles—professional, caregiver, partner—and often put their own needs last. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, process what’s going on, and build practical skills to cope, heal, and grow.
