I have been working with adolescents, adults and older adults in the area of depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia and other mood disorders.

Each person I work with is treated with positive regard i.e. you will be treated with love affection and respect. Everyone is treated as a unique individual and will not be judged any reason. I mainly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy in my practice.

I love working with persons going through life transitions and the LGBTQ+ community. I have a passion for working with couples of all backgrounds including poly couples looking for connection and peace. I also work closely with women in and out of relationships. Are you seeking a therapist who can provide an atmosphere where you feel comfortable enough to vent, find relief, and explore your story– however unconventional it may be? Do you crave a space where you can find yourself or be encouraged to be the expert on your life while being held accountable for your goals? If you want to live a life that aligns with your values or true identity while communicating and reinforcing your boundaries, I can help you get there. Together, using strength-based and person-centered therapy with a psychodynamic touch (and a healthy dose of humor), we can build a bond and begin your journey to building the confidence to be who you want to be. Finally feel self-assured in your value and speak up for what you want in your life, relationships, and career. I also come from a military family that has been located throughout the United States, allowing me the opportunity to meet people from varying backgrounds. This has contributed to my ability to become more culturally competent when working with clients. If you’re ready to build a happy, thriving life while being true to yourself, let’s chat today. My Experience I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing therapy for 4 years. I obtained a Bachelors in Psychology in 2010 at Eastern Michigan University and completed my Master of Social Work at Johnson C. Smith University, graduating in 2017. When I’m not in therapist mode, I’m... Either out and about on the town attending open mics, enjoying brunch, having fun at concerts or at home , watching the Food Network, cartoons, dramas, and comedies.

Coping with life's transitions can be difficult. I am here to help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am physically located in the state of Utah, and licensed in both Utah and North Carolina. I have worked for over ten years as a professional grief and loss counselor. I have substantial experience with transitions and losses associated with death, divorce, emerging adulthood, empty nesting, illness, moving, survivorship, and other transitions. I also offer counseling for those who are caring for a loved one, dealing with compassion fatigue, or facing a terminal or life limiting illness. I work with adults of all ages, from emerging adults to late and very late adulthood. I am particularly adept at issues such as coping with grief, overcoming guilt and regret, understanding anger, practicing self expression, communication of needs, working with depression and anxiety, motivation and goal setting, and identity shifts. I appreciate the effort and courage it takes to begin to research therapists. If you decide this is a good fit, my approach to therapy is warm and open-minded. I approach each session with a curious mind and a sense of openness to whatever you are ready to bring forward. While therapeutic approach and style is important, there are also practical details to consider when finding a therapist. If you are considering reaching out to me for therapy, a couple of practical details to consider: 1) I am typically an "after hours" therapist, with a schedule that accommodates members who need sessions in the late afternoon/evening or weekends. If you prefer daytime sessions, I occasionally am able to offer a lunchtime visit, but those are somewhat limited and tend to fill fast. 2) I tend to book a couple weeks in advance, which means that I am not generally able to accommodate last minute requests for same day or next day sessions. Feel free to make such a request, and I always consider it, but may not be able to oblige.

Tavares Bostic
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.

Robbie Singh
Hi, I’m Robbie! I help individuals who want to work on themselves to improve their relationship with their partner breaking through dysfunctional patterns without having to engage in couples therapy. My clients struggle as you do. Despite being highly intelligent, ambitious and deeply caring adults, life is hard. When they first come in, they are troubled in their interpersonal relationships with their partners. They have personally reached a breaking point or have received an ultimatum that threatens the relationship that they are in and want to be in. They notice something in their behavior that comes up as a pattern and it worries them that they have no control over it because they have tried to resolve it on their own and have gotten little to no results. This either leads to some feelings of hopelessness or reflection where they start researching intentionally and start to draw some connection into their past. They start to intellectualize the process and look for ways to deal with the problem behavior by treating it as a thinking problem. They read books on the subject of psychology, read articles to self diagnose what they may be perceiving in a desperate attempt to get greater understanding of why the problem is problem. Some of my clients even see therapists as a next step whom they feel were helpful to talk to but feel that the root of the problem remains; exacerbating the problem further where it then turns into demoralization and hopelessness. Their emotional responses get in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of partner they want to be. They feel like they’re failing at connecting with themselves and their emotional needs as individuals. And their confidence in establishing boundaries and communicating their needs is tanking. Before they came to see me, clients are concerned that they may not be understood by the therapist or the approach that is being used in therapy will not resonate with their situation. They are worried about navigating the relationships that cause them stress because they are so preoccupied by them. And they are pretty certain that there is a underlying patterns that links between the symptoms they are experiencing now and what they experienced as a child. Attachment trauma can feel overwhelming when it comes to developing healthy relationships. Like my clients, you deserve to feel present and at ease in the moment that you find yourself in right now. Finding balance in your interpersonal relationships is not out of your reach. If you want to cultivate a new way of thinking and living in order to redefine the relationship you have with yourself, I’d love to help you get there. You don’t have to suffer. I can help.
