Therapists in Raleigh, NC

My name is Tameka McFarland. 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 16 and up of all ethnicities and sexual orientations. My ideal client would be a couple or family, however, when seeing individuals, I encourage that the client bring another support person that they trust to their sessions. I also provide life coaching services. Telehealth services are also offered.

Life is full of challenges, unexpected twists, and difficult decisions. Facing these things alone can be overwhelming. Therapy can be a great place to sort through life's challenges as well as explore core beliefs and develop healthy coping mechanisms to not only get through life, but enjoy it. As a therapist, I enjoy working with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, dealing with past trauma, life transitions, identity issues, and self-worth. I like to work with others to create meaningful change in their lives.

I have always had an interest in not only how our minds, bodies, and spirits are connected, but also what takes place when an imbalance exists and then how to implore healing. I look at an individual through a holistic lens, and use this approach, when appropriate. A part of this holistic approach, I have the belief that as a part of the world and universe in which we live, that we are all, interconnected and operate as a part of a dynamic system. I am especially interested in how mindfulness practices, yoga, animals, and nature, might influence the ideas of acceptance and non-judgment, and overall, positively affect an individual.

**Accepting New Clients** Life can be overwhelming, confusing, disappointing, and painful. Life can be very fast-paced, and it can be very difficult in knowing how to keep up. If you’re feeling depressed, or having difficulty with friendships/relationships/family/job, therapy can help. Are the experiences earlier in your life (childhood and/or early adulthood) impacting you now? Is it difficult to make healthy choices? Do you have anger issues? Do you struggle to share emotions that are natural and more vulnerable? Therapy can aid a person in making healthy choices, and improve your daily decision-making.

Are you experiencing pain, frustration, or feeling stuck? I deeply respect your bravery in seeking healing and growth. Whether you're grappling with trauma, facing family challenges, or wrestling with inner turmoil, know that positive change is within reach. I extend a warm invitation into a space of dignity, optimism, security, and empowerment to facilitate your journey of transformation.

As a deeply committed and empathetic therapist, I am driven by my dedication to guiding individuals on their path to finding hope. My extensive experience working with diverse populations—including individuals, couples, and families—has taught me the significance of tapping into an individual's inherent strengths, even as we address areas of vulnerability. My therapeutic approach revolves around helping people transform perceived weaknesses into newfound strengths, revealing the hope that always lies within. That glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel? It's real, and together, we'll find it.

The decision to come to therapy can be challenging. I am here to walk with you through every step of the process of change. Therapy begins with an open and trusting environment where a client feels safe and supported. I find it important to always put the needs of the client first, supporting you and helping you discover your strengths. I believe in a welcoming and relaxed therapeutic approach to help support individuals on their life journey. By providing empathy, compassion, and a non-judgmental environment, I hope to collaborate with you and support you along your journey and help you meet your goals.

Looking for answers? Seeking a solution for you or your loved one? Learning difficulties, focus problems, emotional challenges or feeling as though you or your loved one aren’t living up to potential? Let’s have a conversation to determine whether a psychological assessment or therapy will help you get closer to your goals. While the new school year brings a fresh start and great intentions, it can often be very frustrating when that is not enough to create lasting change. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Learning Disabilities, and Psychological Disorders often adversely impact one’s ability to function and thrive. When these challenges are not adequately addressed, it can be disheartening when so much potential is hidden beneath the disorders.

You should be embracing those uncomfortable feelings in life- it could be a sign that you are growing! Bloom where you are planted. I understand how overstimulating it can be to adapt and navigate stressful environments or life experiences. You deserve a safe space where you feel comfortable working through the fear or stress that you may be experiencing. Additionally, the ability to adapt to life’s inevitable changes is an invaluable skill to have and unfortunately it’s not a skill that comes naturally to many of us, especially young children. Please note — in office hours include M- Thurs 2PM - 7PM; Friday Virtual only 12pm- 5PM
