Welcome, and thank you for taking this courageous step toward your well-being. Seeking support is often the first step toward reclaiming your story.

My name is Angela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience supporting children, teens, and adults.

Drawing on more than ten years of practice across both outpatient and inpatient settings, I partner with clients to weather life's most significant hurdles, whether you are managing anxiety, navigating a major life change, working through family dynamics, or facing an acute crisis.

Therapy isn't about fixing who you are; it’s about discovering who you can become. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based care, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. By blending these strategies with collaborative, supportive guidance, we will work together to help you reshape unhelpful patterns, navigate transitions with confidence, and step fully into your potential.

You don't have to navigate it all alone, so let's take the next step toward living your very best life together.

If you're carrying anxiety, grief, past trauma, or a complicated relationship with substances, and you're not sure where to start, you've found the right place. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors through depression, family conflict, PTSD, domestic violence, and stress that never seems to let up. My path into counseling started in Wayne County schools, working with young people who needed someone genuinely in their corner. That experience planted something I've carried through every role since: people don't need to have it figured out before they ask for help. I went on to work in higher education and community mental health, and I'm especially committed to clients who haven't always felt welcomed or seen in traditional mental health spaces.

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.

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!

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 Durham

Searching for family therapists in Durham starts with finding someone who understands the relationships and patterns involved, not just one person’s experience. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, family estrangement, and communication breakdowns across generations. Look for a therapist whose profile lists family counselling and therapy, experience with therapy for family problems, or training that fits your needs. Family therapists often work with the relational system, which means they may help family members understand roles, patterns, and interactions together.

In a mid-sized city like Durham, you may find a range of Durham therapists with different specialties, office locations, and appointment formats. In-person care may be useful when several family members plan to attend from the same area, while virtual appointments can make scheduling easier when family members live in different places or have varied routines. Session attendance can also vary by need, including the full family, specific family members, or individual sessions connected to the larger family work. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how they describe their approach, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Durham 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 compare Durham, NC therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before your first session. You can search by insurance, specialty, appointment format, and availability, then book directly when you find a therapist who matches your family’s needs and accepts your plan.

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
