Tamekia Powell

Tamekia Powell views each person as a distinct, multifaceted individual and adapts her clinical approach to meet those specific needs. She works collaboratively with clients to build a treatment plan and goals that reflect both the information they offer and her assessment of their emotional, mental, physical, social, spiritual, economic, and career circumstances.

Ongoing client input is an important part of her process as issues are identified and explored during sessions, and she emphasizes that open, honest communication between counselor and client is central to a productive therapeutic relationship. With seven years of experience, Tamekia supports people managing concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, parenting difficulties, anger management, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching, and ADHD.

Her professional credentials include clinical counseling licenses in North Carolina and Maryland, supervision-level certification as a clinical mental health counselor, specialized training as a clinical addiction specialist, and certifications in sex offender treatment, national counseling, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. These qualifications inform a flexible, client-centered approach that is tailored to each person she works with.
