I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in the state of North Carolina. I having been working in this field for over 24 years. I am fortunate to have been afforded the opportunity to work in a variety of settings. These settings include substance abuse treatment, mental health crises, domestic violence, critical incidences, youth corrections, individual, couples and family counseling. I have worked with clients who have had issues with depression, anxiety, stress and psychsocial problems. While I have benefitted greatly from these experiences, I believe myself to be most effective in individual counseling. I have taken the benefit of all these experiences and combined them to be the best counselor I can be. No matter the initial presentation of my clients, their issues tend to fall into one or more of the areas of my experience.
As a therapist, my theoretical approaches tend to be solution focused, reality based with an emphasis on how my client views him or herself and the world around them. I believe we all make decisions and exhibit individual behaviors based on what we perceive is happening to us and the world around us. My goal is to help my clients determine if their beliefs, as well as their actions, are helping them be the best they can be. In addition to that, I work to ensure that my clients have the emotional tools they need to appropriately and effectively manage the emotional ups and downs of life. As I see it, life is "a continuum of temporary circumstances that we all must navigate the best we can with the skills we have".
My calling is to serve others, with the hope that I can contribute in some way to helping them make their lives better..

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I’m so glad Tawnya is my therapist. …I appreciate her so much. She’s been so helpful.
Tawnya has been such an incredible support system for me over the past 6 months, I’ve felt listened too, validated, been able to process all that has gone on & I’m optimistic about the future.
Tawyna is helping me with a variety of issues relating to family. Tawnya made me I feel comfortable to discuss with her and help me navigate the situation. After our sessions I feel empowered and I look forward to continuing therapy with her.
I found it easy to trust Tawnya, like I felt like we'd known each other for years even though we only got to talk a couple of times. She's very kind and very patient and if I could, I wish I could give her a big, big hug to thank her for comforting me and making me feel understood. I really wish I had met her sooner.
I am really grateful for Tawnya and her time. She is patient and understanding and observant of patterns. I can tell she really wants the best for me and for me to be my best self. She will always tell me the truth. I’m very happy to have her as my therapist
After one session with Tawnya I feel so comfortable with her. I quickly was able to open up about things that I had not shared with anyone before, and she approached me with nothing but empathy. I'm excited to continue working with her! ❤️
Tawnya is a fantastic therapist. She's an amazing listener with keen insight that offers me a fresh new perspective on longstanding issues. She is nonjudgmental and when speaking with her, I feel completely comfortable. After our sessions, I feel lighter, happier, inspired, motivated, and at ease. Thank you <3
I’ve only had one session with Tawnya so far and I already feel comfortable confiding in her. She also knows how to make the sessions fun. Highly recommend
Tawnya is a phenomenal counselor! By far the most kind, compassionate, and responsive therapists I’ve had the privilege to get to know through this App. She is genuinely outstanding in her knowledge and practice. I sincerely recommend her, to any and all folks needing someone to talk to.
