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.

Marie Shelton

Marie Shelton

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Southern Shores, NC


My name is Marie Shelton. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in NC and an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. Although I specialize in using EMDR and some therapeutic art techniques / guided drawing to help my clients reprocess traumatic memories, I adjust my approach to fit each of my clients' individual needs. While I am always striving to be warm and validating of my clients' experiences I also am able to give them direct feedback to challenge them to grow further and heal on a deeper level. I incorporate client centered therapy and mindfulness as well as CBT into my therapy sessions with my clients. While I do teach my clients healthy, effective coping skills to manage difficult emotions, I encourage them to go deeper to discover the roots of their difficulties in order to heal what has resulted in the symptoms. In other words I want to help my clients thrive not just cope.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Sanford, NC


Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed with life, exhausted, anxious, or depressed? Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event? Perhaps you struggle with a chronic illness. Maybe you struggle with a difficult child or teen. Or maybe your partner has been unfaithful. Are you tired of feeling isolated and hopeless? You want- no, you need- things to change, but you don’t where to begin. Asking for help can be one of the most difficulty things to do, but I would be honored to help you discover your inner strength and begin your journey to healing and being who you are meant to be.


I have received training in Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) for managing bipolar disorders as well as certification as a clinical trauma professional. A nationally certified counselor, I am also a member of LPC Association of NC and the International Association of Trauma Professionals (IATP).


I am passionate about helping people triumph over trauma, learn mindfulness-based practices to reduce stress and manage anxiety, improve self-esteem, understand the relationship among our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (CBT) and learn to tolerate distress in their lives.
