You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius. Many men resonate with this wisdom from Stoic philosophy. Life brings disruption, trauma, career shifts, and family transitions that can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of who you are. I specialize in helping men reclaim identity and purpose after disruption. Whether you’re struggling with stress, relationship strain, or questions of meaning, counseling offers a space to face these challenges directly while discovering resilience you may not yet see in yourself.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Ayden, NC


I work primarily with Christian women who feel overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life—especially those navigating chronic health challenges alongside anxiety, depression, burnout, or grief. You may feel like taking care of your health, your responsibilities, your relationships, and your faith has become a full-time job, and you're tired of always feeling behind.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with specialized training in Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy. I believe counseling can be a place where your faith is welcomed rather than set aside. Together, we can work toward greater peace with God, yourself, others, and the life you’re living.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I was drawn into this profession from an early age, always curious about people, what they do, how they think, how they go about solving problems or getting stuck in them. Even when we do things well, we stumble over life's hurdles. It can feel overwhelming trying to find a way out or up or back. A listening heart and a supportive hand can be a big help finding our way again. With over 40 years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of people and concerns.

I know how hard it is to learn to talk about difficult things. That made me want to help others learn to do the same. I started by volunteering at rape crisis and domestic violence shelters. When I was at these places I did outreach in the community and ran support groups for both. For a time, I took rape crisis hospital calls to support people who had come in for sexual assault exams. This work that taught me to be comfortable talking about anything, at any time, with anyone. I have worked with all types of individuals from ages 12 and up. My first Masters was an intensive dive into Human Rights. My second Masters was in Counseling so I could work with individuals to help them beyond the crisis moments. My passion is to help people progress towards healing.

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.

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 New Bern

Searching for therapists in New Bern starts with finding someone whose background fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. If you are looking for marriage counseling in New Bern, NC, it can also help to look for therapists who list couples therapy, communication concerns, conflict patterns, or family relationships in their specialties. Review each therapist’s profile for training, therapy style, and areas of focus, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family systems work.

In a smaller city like New Bern, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger North Carolina markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach mental health care before you book.

Therapy in New Bern can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance details, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
