Tameka is heaven sent! I started seeing her about a year and a half ago and honestly I don’t think I could’ve made it this far without her. She is an amazing listener and provides genuine feedback with tools to help you do the work it takes to make the changes you want or need for a better life. Tameka exemplifies her expertise through her down to earth personality and empathic skills, while providing a safe space for you to freely express yourself. I recommend her for anyone on the journey of self-discovery and finding their self worth or building self love, healing from traumas, dealing with narcissistic relationships, anxiety/depression, and CPTSD. I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for Tameka. SO grateful for her ❤️
More about Tameka

- LMFT
My name is Tameka McFarland. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies from UNC Greensboro in2004. I earned my Master of Science degree from Capella University in 2017. I am also a certified proficient life coach. I own and manage a thriving private practice in North Carolina. I have been licensed since December 2017.
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 18 and up of all ethnicities and sexual orientations. My ideal client would be a couple or family, however, I see many individuals in therapy as well.
I specialize in treating couples and families. I also provide Cranial Electrotherapy to treat anxiety, insomnia, mood disorders, and chronic pain. My preferred theoretical modalities are Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I treat adults of all ages.

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.

Awesome all around!
She is such an amazing therapist. Instantly when I spoke with her I just knew she was a great fit for me. I am not naturally a vulnerable person, so the fact that I was able to open up to her so easily really says a lot. She is an amazing listener. Also she recommends books and tools to use outside of therapy that helps keep me on the straight and narrow. When I first met with her, I was in such a low place in my life, but investing in therapy has truly been the BEST one yet. I am excited for my future and I'm happy to implement what I have learned. I am truly thankful for Tameka. She has changed my life. I would highly recommend betterhelp, especially because of her.
Consistently awesome counsel in navigating the complex emotions that arise in the process of divorce.
Tameka has been a great fit for me. She is very supportive and always makes me feel heard.
Thanks for following up with me
The support has been wonderful, her kind way of listening and relating help is greatly appreciated.
Tameka is thoughtful and understands my challenges.
Tameka is a great listener, and has helped me get to the root of my anxiety. I appreciate that she focuses on encouragement and validating emotions, which makes me feel valued and heard. Most of all, I believe the reason that we can make progress is Tameka's warmth: she is the professional, but she is also so human! Knowing that she can relate to what I am experiencing is very helpful.
Tameka has a great calm and nice demeanor. She makes you feel like family, which makes it super comfortable to talk to her.
I love working with Tameka! I’ve never worked with a therapist before. I honestly just talk and joke with her about my life/thoughts. She gives me a different perspective, sometimes worksheets or things to reflect on and I’ve grown so much with her already! I love meeting up with her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a relatable, congenial, relaxed person to talk to.
Awesome counselor. Easy to connect with and helps address my needs. Great at educating, validating, and even challenging in order to help get me through this seperation and divorce process.
After being apprehensive about counseling services due to various reasons, Tameka has made me extremely happy that I chose to give it a try. She is beyond helpful and so easy to talk to! Thank you, Tameka for making this such a great experience!
I’m only on my second session. However, she seems nice and questioned necessary probing questions.
My sessions with Tameka have helped me make progress in the areas I was feeling "STUCK" they have provided clarity on some of the repetitive self sabotaging behaviours that have been a cycle in most of my adult life. Tameka is a great listener and provides various tools to apply in working through the resolve process and makes you know you are heard and understood. Thank you Tameka for being such a great influence in my healing journey to conquer and move on from 'STUCK' to 'PURPOSE'!
She’s been great! Very helpful.
Tamika and I have only talked a few times now, but she was open and easy to connect with right off the bat! I’ve never been to counseling before and she helped me feel at ease and understood over her introduction message, before we ever spoke over video. She immediately asked me about my goals and has kept those in mind during our sessions. I love working worth Tamika and look forward to continuing to do so.
Tameka is AMAZING. Very personable and makes me feel heard and respected.
Tameka is so kind and easy to talk to! She is understanding and sympathizes with you. She also is great at giving you several resources during and following a session.
