I specialize in family, adult, adolescent and child therapy. My focus is to provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment where you can express yourself in the freeway. My goal is to identify the problem that you need help with and develop a plan to achieve this goal. My professional experience includes working at a wide range of mental health settings such as outpatient mental health agencies, high schools, community colleges, and government agencies. I am fluent in Ukrainian and Russian languages.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe it's not only important but essential for individuals and couples to have a safe, non-judgemental space to share and work through problems. I have nearly twenty years of experience working with individuals and couples struggling with destructive relationship patterns, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, sexual and intimacy disruptions (such as infidelity, sexual addiction, past sexual abuse, etc), trauma and abuse, domestic violence, depression, and grief.

A renewed mind can change your life! Deciding to seek therapy can be life changing. Counseling should be an experience that allows you to think of your life and circumstances in a way that promotes positive changes. Choosing me as your counselor, I will be your partner dedicated to providing unconditional positive regard, and empathetic listening, to guide you on your journey of lasting change for a brighter, and happier future.

I specialize in clinical and forensic psychological testing and evaluation with adults and offer evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. My interpersonal style is direct, pragmatic, and spiritual, and I subscribe to the idea that our thoughts drive our reality. My therapy style is compassionate, yet reality-based and focused on helping you identify the themes that are weighing you down and to offer learning strategies toward a change of mind and a change in your reality.

Are you struggling to get over a traumatic experience or the emotional and behavioral consequences? Hypnosis and NLP can help you resolve your core issue instead of treating symptoms with talk therapy or medication. If you feel any emotional discomfort when recalling a memory, it IS likely affecting you every day. Whether the trauma (not always PTSD) occurred decades ago or recently, your mind has the ability to let it go quickly. I offer a private, brief trauma resolution program that thoroughly clears distressing memories, changes your trauma-induced limiting beliefs, and alleviates the associated emotions and unwanted behaviors.

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 13 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.

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years' experience, offering you a safe, accepting environment as I listen, interact, and help guide you in resolving issues of anxiety, depression, low self esteem, abuse and trauma, relationship conflicts, feeling stuck in repetitive patterns, etc. And especially now during the social isolation many of us are now facing during the COVID-19 crisis, I can help you build skills to get through this to the other side. You may also be suffering a major life transition such as divorce, loss of a loved one, change in career or home, and life feels upside down and sideways. I am here.

It is never too late to be who you might have been. In my clinical experience, I have found that most individuals are not prepared to handle the challenging issues they encounter in life and often find themselves in an unfamiliar place. Helping individuals and families discover new ways to navigate through life’s challenges and gain a healthier way of living is my passion as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Associate. I strive to provide a safe space, dedicated to your individual growth and healing. I employ a Rogerian approach and provide culturally competent therapy.

I work with clients to help unlock their potential and achieve their goals. Change is one of the hardest things to do, and I am here to help facilitate that. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families as well as run groups using a variety of therapeutic approaches that include: cognitive-behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, family-systems therapy, meditation and mindfulness therapy. I specialize in helping those with issues pertaining to ADHD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, male issues, anger management, domestic violence, mental and physical disabilities, oppositional defiance, schizophrenia, and bipolar.

My primary focus is to help children, parents and adults reframe, rethink, then refresh their views, opinions, and actions. I enjoy taking research based theories and sharing the information in a pragmatic way. I believe my authentic and genuine interest in helping others is what enables my clients to "flip" their thinking and actions for positive change. With children I use various play and cognitive behavior therapies to help in navigating the academic, emotional and social stress they are faced with in today's digital world. Additionally, I work with parents to offer effective ways to parent their children for optimal success.

Making the decision to seek therapy can be overwhelming. We understand that, and we are here to help guide you through the process and clear a path to emotional well-being. By working together, we can develop a strategy that promotes a healthier life for you and the ones closest to you. Our compassionate approach provides a safe and caring environment for you to seek the support that you deserve.

Are you overwhelmed and desperate for clarity? Has anxiety got you on “high alert” and peace and rest seem to evade you no matter how hard you try? Do you keep asking yourself why the past can’t just stay in the past? Does ADHD feel like it is the ever present roadblock that keeps you from obtaining your full potential? Are you just plain tired and feel like you’re just going through the motions, void of joy and lacking purpose? I want to reassure you that there is hope and a path forward. There is a full life on the other side of trauma, beyond debilitating anxiety and hopelessness, and beyond hard ADHD symptoms. You’re not alone.

With 10 years’ experience in mental health, and 16 years in public education, I have worked in a wide range of settings: Inpatient treatment centers, School-based programs, Outpatient and outreach services. I have served children, young adults, and their families with issues of trauma, abuse, addiction, neurodiversity, ADHD, PTSD, gang involvement, and emerging sexuality issues.
