Sarah Barkley

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Asheville, NC


I have been in private practice for 20 years with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. My style is informed from my diverse experience. I have worked in adolescent residential treatment, FBI consulting, an expert witness and a graduate school professorship; all the while working with my private practice clients. In the last several years, I have been sought out as a corporate consultant and speaker to discuss how our negative experiences and traumas shape our behaviors as high intensity professionals.

The untapped magnificence I see in my clients never ceases to inspire and amaze me. Anyone who is willing to do hard work is already a gift to this World! I've grown bored of many things in my life but this work....never!

Syveria Ford

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


For 18 years, I have worked alongside children and adults navigating some of life's hardest

moments: anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and more. I believe that when you

invest in your mental health, you gain more control over your own life, and that is something

worth working toward together. I am dually licensed in both North Carolina and South

Carolina, which means I bring a depth of clinical experience across many settings. Using a

blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy, I meet you where

you are and help you build toward where you want to be.

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Charlotte, NC

Searching for family therapists in Charlotte starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships and patterns within a family, not just one person. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, sibling conflict, mother-daughter concerns, and communication breakdowns across generations. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family systems, attachment-based family therapy, play therapy, or other approaches that match what your family wants to work on.

Charlotte has many counselors across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, Dilworth, NoDa, and Ballantyne, which can make it harder to narrow your options. Decide whether in-person sessions near home, school, or work make sense, or whether virtual appointments offer a better fit for multiple schedules. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members at different times, so it helps to review therapist bios for session structure, availability, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find family therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can browse profiles, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
