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.

About Me
I'm not your typical psychotherapist, and everyone I've had the honor to work with on their life's journey can attest to this. Born, raised and forged in the "Steel City" and sharpened in the "City of Brotherly Love", the term "Alchemist" more accurately describes who I am. I specialize in alchemizing pain into purpose and trauma into triumph. If you're ready to transform your life, I'm your guy!
As a therapist, my goal is to create a space where individuals, teens, and couples feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just trying to find a clearer path forward—therapy can be a powerful place to reconnect with yourself and your goals.
I’ve been practicing therapy for 25 years, which has included 12 years in NC and prior practice in both Kansas and New Mexico. I’ve worked in community mental health most of my career so I’ve had the opportunity to serve all ages and provide treatment for a huge variety of mental health concerns. I’m pretty down to Earth, open, honest, and genuine. I can be direct when needed to help bring awareness or light to a potential problem area while at the same time me providing support and encouragement. I enjoy hearing people’s life stories and helping individuals navigate their way through difficult life situations and problematic symptoms. No judgment, just a person available to help you find what you need.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wilmington
Searching for therapists in Wilmington starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for therapy in Wilmington, NC for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. A profile that mentions experience with cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or another relevant focus can help you understand whether the therapist may be a strong fit.
In a smaller city like Wilmington, local in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also help you learn how each person describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Wilmington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Wilmington, review 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.
