Life has a way of changing us, sometimes in ways we never expected. My passion is helping people navigate those moments with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), I believe healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about reconnecting with the person you've always been beneath the stress, pain, burnout, or life transitions.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, relationship challenges, grief, substance use recovery, or simply feeling stuck, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. You don't have to have all the answers before you walk through my door.

My clients often describe me as genuine, compassionate, easy to talk to, and someone who isn't afraid to bring a little humor into the healing process. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and approachable. Sometimes the most powerful moments happen after we've laughed together.

Above all, I want you to know this:

You don't have to navigate life's journey alone.

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 addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Greensboro

Finding addiction therapists in Greensboro starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, nicotine use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and related concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship strain. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or coordination with medication-assisted care when a prescriber is part of your care team.

Greensboro has a range of therapy options, including in-person offices and virtual appointments across the area. Virtual care can expand your options if you want a therapist with specific addiction experience, harm reduction training, or availability that fits your schedule. As you compare therapists, review whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, including whether they take a nonjudgmental approach to recovery and understand that progress can look different from person to person.

Addiction therapy in Greensboro can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, review detailed profiles, confirm insurance details, and see estimated costs upfront — so you can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
