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.

Dana Spangler

Therapist

Virtual • Asheville, NC


My clients would say I am down to earth, non-judgmental, authentic, warm and compassionate. I often use humor in sessions and find this can ease discomfort around working through hard things. I show up with my own lived experiences which helps me in my work with clients. I am also learning to navigate the world as chaotic and crazy as things feel while parenting children through the process.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Supervisor and have worked in the field for more than 10 years. My experience ranges from school based therapy, community mental health, hospital psychiatric intake and now private practice. I have worked with children, adolescents adults and couples. I especially enjoy working with those within the LGBTQIA+ communities. My specialties are trauma/PTSD, OCD, Couples work and Anxiety. I also enjoy attachment focused treatments and working through negative beliefs we developed as children.

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 Apex

Searching for therapists in Apex starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for training, specialties, and approaches that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

Apex has a growing mental health care community, but local appointment options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can help expand your search beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their communication style and what a first session may be like.

Therapy in Apex can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, see estimated costs before booking, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
