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.

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 Matthews

Searching for therapists in Matthews starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist specialties match that need. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that align with your goals, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, or support for couples and families.

Matthews has local therapy options, and nearby Charlotte can expand your search if you want more appointment times or specialty matches. Virtual therapy can also make it easier to find a North Carolina therapist whose schedule, approach, and availability fit what you need. Before booking, review therapist bios for practical details like session format, appointment availability, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Matthews can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you find a match.
