Welcome! My name is Tameka and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia. I have 17+ years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home. Seeing my experiences can be a bit overwhelming, so I would like to break it down a bit more. I have the most experience working with clients experiencing Depression, Anxiety, Family Conflict, Self -Love, and LGBTQ+.
It is my belief that you have everything you need within you to live your best life and be your best self, however, unhealed wounds can slow that timeline of seeing that manifest. It is my goal to guide, educate, support, and empower my clients on their way to healing. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy.
I find great joy when my clients have that light bulb moment when they realize they in fact can be the captain of their healing/journey. I also understand that not everyone is of the mindset that they need healing and may require someone to help them build their personal road map of goals, I can also assist with that and would say I would serve in more of a coaching role for you.
Lastly, picking the right therapist can be scary, I would like to share that I find the therapeutic alliance as a collaboration of communication, honesty, and mutual respect. If you feel I am a good fit for you, I would love to walk alongside you as you explore your inner challenges and develop long-term solutions to those challenges.
Please note that I only see clients via phone or video sessions.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I absolutely love Dr. Leggs. She is so amazing and makes me feel very comfortable! 10/10 definitely recommend!
Tameka is amazing and is very interactive! She listens and provides tools needed to delve deep into the root issues. In all honesty, I was about to stop using BetterHelp until I started working with Tameka.
Tameka is as advertised. She does a good job of balancing listening with appropriate amount of offering advice and bringing up things I might not have considered. I really value having her as my therapist after going through several that didn’t fit. You’ll be happy you chose her :).
Tameka is incredible. She's patient, motivating, asks tough questions, and steadily guides me through the process. She clearly tailors the sessions to communicate how I best receive information (i.e. solution oriented!) and plants seeds that allow me to stumble into realizations at my own pace. Highly recommend.
Tameka is amazing. She fully understands me, and still holds me accountable towards my goals and myself.
Tameka is an amazing counselor, I feel heard, and validated by her. She has an incredible skill in making me feel comfortable and safe. She is empowering, supportive, and isn’t afraid to be straight forward and honest. She is an amazing LPC and I DO recommend her to my family and friends!
Tameka was a godsend at a very difficult time in my life. She listens and isn’t at all judgmental. I can fully let my guard down with her
I have never did a match before but i must say that this match was perfect.
You were amazing and I appreciate it
