Tameka is heaven sent! I started seeing her about a year and a half ago and honestly I don’t think I could’ve made it this far without her. She is an amazing listener and provides genuine feedback with tools to help you do the work it takes to make the changes you want or need for a better life. Tameka exemplifies her expertise through her down to earth personality and empathic skills, while providing a safe space for you to freely express yourself. I recommend her for anyone on the journey of self-discovery and finding their self worth or building self love, healing from traumas, dealing with narcissistic relationships, anxiety/depression, and CPTSD. I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for Tameka. SO grateful for her ❤️

She is such an amazing therapist. Instantly when I spoke with her I just knew she was a great fit for me. I am not naturally a vulnerable person, so the fact that I was able to open up to her so easily really says a lot. She is an amazing listener. Also she recommends books and tools to use outside of therapy that helps keep me on the straight and narrow. When I first met with her, I was in such a low place in my life, but investing in therapy has truly been the BEST one yet. I am excited for my future and I'm happy to implement what I have learned. I am truly thankful for Tameka. She has changed my life. I would highly recommend betterhelp, especially because of her.

Tameka is a great listener, and has helped me get to the root of my anxiety. I appreciate that she focuses on encouragement and validating emotions, which makes me feel valued and heard. Most of all, I believe the reason that we can make progress is Tameka's warmth: she is the professional, but she is also so human! Knowing that she can relate to what I am experiencing is very helpful.

I love working with Tameka! I’ve never worked with a therapist before. I honestly just talk and joke with her about my life/thoughts. She gives me a different perspective, sometimes worksheets or things to reflect on and I’ve grown so much with her already! I love meeting up with her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a relatable, congenial, relaxed person to talk to.

My sessions with Tameka have helped me make progress in the areas I was feeling "STUCK" they have provided clarity on some of the repetitive self sabotaging behaviours that have been a cycle in most of my adult life.
Tameka is a great listener and provides various tools to apply in working through the resolve process and makes you know you are heard and understood.
Thank you Tameka for being such a great influence in my healing journey to conquer and move on from 'STUCK' to 'PURPOSE'!
