Hi there! I'm Allura, licensed clinical mental health counselor, licensed school counselor and counselor-educator. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervison, as well as two Master's degrees (M.Ed and M.S.) I've been a licensed clinician in some capacity for roughly 14 years and have over 20 years experience in education and the helping professions. I specialize in trauma-informed modalities, from TF-CBT to DBT. My ideal clients are adolescents and adults females struggling to make meaning of their experiences and hungry for something BIGGER, BRIGHTER and more JOYFUL.
I approach sessions as an experienced professional and a real person. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as your full, uncensored self—say the hard things, the messy things, even the things you’re not sure how to put into words—and still feel accepted, heard, and supported. Many people reach out to me feeling overwhelmed by everyday stress, big world events, or the sense that things keep changing without much warning. It can feel like there’s no escape from stress, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, share humor, & talk things through with someone who’s really listening. My career spans 20+ years in mental health, addiction treatment, and disability services.
Hello, I’m Tamara Neely, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping individuals of all ages live healthier, more balanced lives. With a strong clinical background and years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care tailored to your unique needs.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and autism spectrum-related concerns, with a particular focus on working with children, teens, and young adults. Whether you're seeking a new diagnosis, medication management, or ongoing psychiatric support, I’m here to walk that path with you.
Since 2015, have gained a wide breadth of experience ranging from wilderness therapy to residential treatment centers, working with clients aged 13-72.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Boone
Searching for therapists in Boone starts with knowing what kind of support you want. A therapist can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a Boone therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or other therapy styles.
Boone is a smaller market, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger North Carolina cities. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their session format fits your schedule. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Boone can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists in Boone, NC who are accepting new patients, and many have insurance information available so you can check coverage before booking. You can compare specialties, review bios, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
