About me

As a therapist, I understand the bravery it takes to be completely vulnerable with another
individual. My role in the counseling room is to meet you right where you are with respect,
compassion, and non-judgement. I find it a privilege to journey with a client.

Hi, I’m Tavares Bostic, I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
Best known for my down-to-earth and very sound approach, I look to help people marry the discontent they may
feel in their lives, with proven coping mechanisms focusing on reducing symptoms related to
their mental health diagnosis. With over a decade of experience, I have long been an advocate for
helping remove the stigma attached to mental illness, helping couples renew their love and focus
to one another, and ensuring that older adults in assisted living and retirement communities
become educated on symptoms which are directly related to mental health diagnoses and become
motivated to address them by engaging in psychotherapy and most appropriate psychotropic
medication.

I was blessed enough to earn my master’s in social work with a certification in clinical mental
health from The University of Pittsburgh and my bachelors of social work from North Carolina
A&T State University. I believe that the combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and Reality
therapy is one of the most effective ways of empowering individuals to become their best. I have
had the opportunity to work in multiple settings over the past 10 years and I’ve covered mental
illness across the spectrum.

Let’s sort out what troubles you in healthy ways by exploring your individual experience, and uncovering your unique strengths. I want to empower you to
find your best path through this life as you heal from past hurts and search for meaning, purpose, and direction.

From the first moment I spoke with Tavares I could tell that he was on my side and willing to help me heal from my past and supports taking steps in the right direction. He is thoughtful, asks questions when appropriate, and LISTENS without judgment. I just started working with Tavares but I am confident and excited to see where our work together takes me. Thank you, Tavares.

Sensitive, thoughtful, caring, and extremely supportive. He’s generous with his time and his thoughts, and I couldn’t think of a better person to include in your support network as a therapist.

I’ve been through many many therapists in my lifetime. Tavares is the most accepting, and helpful person I’ve ever met. He really helps you and makes you believe in yourself again, no matter how far down that hole you think might be. He’ll be there to bring you back. He is incredible at his work. Thank you Tavares!
