My name is Tameka McFarland. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies from UNC Greensboro in2004. I earned my Master of Science degree from Capella University in 2017. I am also a certified proficient life coach. I own and manage a thriving private practice in North Carolina. I have been licensed since December 2017. I treat individuals, couples who are dating, planning to get married, currently married, or are considering divorce. I will treat emotional concerns that are affecting intimacy between a client and their partner. I provide support to families who have concerns about parenting. I will see any client ages 18 and up of all ethnicities and sexual orientations. My ideal client would be a couple or family, however, I see many individuals in therapy as well. I specialize in treating couples and families. I also provide Cranial Electrotherapy to treat anxiety, insomnia, mood disorders, and chronic pain. My preferred theoretical modalities are Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing mental health services for adults and adolescents. Understanding of the challenges individuals, families, and couples face daily, I am dedicated to helping you overcome those challenges by using an integrative approach that best fits your individual needs.

If you're reaching out to a therapist, you're needing something better in your life. You're not willing to go on the way things are, and you have the hope and determination that things can and must change. You need someone who can help you achieve that change. You don't need someone who will just tell you what you want to hear, or who will listen but not know what to do. You need someone who has the ability to get you to that better place in your life. I have the training, compassion, and experience to help you get there. For couples, I'm trained in Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. These are two of the best-researched, most effective couples therapy methods out there, and I have seen beautiful results in my clients. I also see many individuals, as well as families. I've also been there. I know what depression feels like, and I've struggled with a difficult marriage and divorce. I've been to therapy myself, learned a lot, done the work, and have gotten to my own better place. My passion and my reason for becoming a therapist is to help others benefit from what I've learned. My training has given me the skills to do that. I won't judge you, and you won't hear, "Well, just get over it!" from me. If you want Christian counseling, let me know. If you prefer non-religious therapy, I am comfortable with that as well. Either way, you will have my full attention and my best effort.

Welcome. Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, major life transitions, or simply feeling stuck. Seeking support takes courage, and finding a therapist who feels like a good fit is an important part of the process. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) who works with adults navigating a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. Throughout my career, I have worked in healthcare, substance use treatment, correctional settings, and with veterans. These experiences have given me the opportunity to support individuals from diverse backgrounds, many of whom were facing significant stress, trauma, uncertainty, and life-changing decisions. Working in these settings taught me the importance of meeting people where they are. I believe that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, regardless of their circumstances. My goal is to create a space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment while feeling supported and challenged in ways that promote growth. My approach is collaborative, practical, and strengths-based. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and person-centered approaches. Together, we will identify your goals, build on your existing strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, substance use, relationship concerns, self-esteem, burnout, or adjusting to a new chapter in life, I strive to provide a supportive environment where healing and growth can occur. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a partnership. You bring your experiences, strengths, and goals; I bring clinical expertise, support, and guidance. Together, we can work toward helping you build the life you want to live. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your journey.

I believe healing begins in relationships where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed space where individuals and couples can explore life's challenges without judgment. I specialize in working with trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences. Whether you're navigating communication challenges, healing from betrayal or interpersonal violence, struggling with self-worth, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, I will meet you where you are while helping you move toward meaningful and lasting change. My approach is attachment-based, person-centered, and evidence-informed, integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices. I focus not only on reducing symptoms but also on helping clients develop emotional resilience, healthier relationship patterns, and a stronger connection to themselves and the people who matter most. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and practical. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your existing strengths, and create a path toward healing that aligns with your values and goals. Seeking therapy is a courageous first step. If you're ready to invest in your emotional well-being and create healthier relationships—with yourself and others—I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments.

I grew up hearing things like, "therapy isn't for Black people" and "what happens in this house, stays in this house." First of all, both of those statements are a lie. Second, while trust and privacy matter, not at the expense of your mental health. Let's be real. Life be lifing. We all need support at different points in our lives, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for it. You're probably showing up for everyone else. Your employer. Your children. Your partner. Your family. You're making sure everyone else is okay while quietly carrying the weight of your own experiences. But who's showing up for you? Who's holding space for you? That's where I come in. Sometimes, from the outside, it looks like you have it all together while internally you're struggling to keep your head above water. Maybe you've spent years surviving and have become so good at it that no one realizes you're hurting. Together, we'll identify the things that are weighing on you, unpack the trauma and triggers that continue to show up in your life, and learn practical ways to manage them so that you're not just surviving, but healing. What sets me apart as a clinician is my ability to combine clinical expertise, cultural awareness, and genuine human connection. I provide a compassionate, strengths-based approach that honors each client's story, identity, and lived experience. As a Black Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I understand the importance of creating spaces where clients feel seen, valued, and understood without having to explain or minimize their experiences. My goal is not only to help you navigate life's challenges, but to help you reconnect with your strengths, build resilience, and recognize your own capacity for healing and growth. You do not have to carry it all by yourself.

I work with children (8+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, emotional regulation, neurodivergence, and behavioral challenges. As a former first responder, I have experience working with first responders, military, law enforcement, and survivors of violence. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client. Christian counseling is available for those who wish to incorporate their faith into therapy.
