I am offering immediate appointment slots and flexible rates during this difficult time. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression due to COVID-19? Do you feel uncertain about how to move forward during this difficult time? You may feel trapped or hopeless, but I can help you with proven coping skills and by working with you to create a new perspective. My life experience provides a solid foundation upon which I have built my techniques and interventions. In addition to my work with adults, I have experience with teens and young adults, and enjoy connecting with them and helping them navigate life and family challenges.

I spent 25 years in corporate America before earning my master's degree in professional counseling. This experience has given me insight into the stresses in the workplace. Having been a long time sufferer of anxiety, I can empathize with the weight of this emotion while also sharing techniques that have helped me live a better, more enjoyable life.

We are living in uncertain times and COVID fatigue has made daily life even more difficult to manage. It can feel overwhelming, but I will work with you to re-train your brain so that your automatic thought patterns are encouraging instead of fearful.

Hello, I’m happy to meet you and begin working with you as a therapist who specializes in trauma. The following information includes my professional background, the therapeutic services I provide, and the rights and responsibilities that will guide our work together. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you have.

My Education and Experience: I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminology, a master’s degree in Sociology with a clinical emphasis, a doctoral degree in Applied Sociology with a clinical specialization, and I’m a Certified Clinical Sociologist through the Association of Applied and Clinical Sociology. I completed a master’s degree in clinical social work (MSW) with a specialization in Trauma and Interpersonal Violence in 2022 and am a fully licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I earned my previous degrees in Kentucky from Western Kentucky University and the University of Louisville. I completed my MSW through Simmons University in Boston, Massachusetts. My past clinical work has focused on family preservation and child welfare through in-home crisis intervention, family reunification services, parenting education and independent living skills, supervised visitation for children residing in foster care, and custodial mediation and visitation for co-parenting separated or divorced couples. I’ve also worked for the states of Kentucky and Virginia as a child welfare analyst, consultant, and educator. Additional work has included forensic interviewing, case management support for child advocacy centers, and expert testimony in court cases involving child maltreatment and domestic violence as a Qualified Mental Health Professional in (QMHP) Virginia and Kentucky.

Tereaka Powell

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hello, I provide virtual mental health therapy to teens and adults across North Carolina. With nine years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate a wide range of social and emotional challenges.

I LOVE being a therapist! It brings immense joy to support clients during their lowest moments and witness their transformation into healthier, more empowered versions of themselves. The resilience of my clients has truly been remarkable and inspiring.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in social work from North Carolina Central University and my master’s degree in social work from East Carolina University. Over the years, I have worked in community mental health, a psychiatric hospital, mobile crisis intervention, and outpatient therapy settings.

I’m so glad you’re taking this important step toward prioritizing your mental health. Life can bring unexpected challenges, and at times, it may feel overwhelming or isolating. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, or burnout, please know that you are not alone.

With the right tools and support, you can navigate these challenges and discover effective solutions that empower you to move forward. Your struggles do not define you, and together, we can uncover the strategies that work best for you—helping you build a more fulfilling and authentic life.

If you feel I might be the right person to support you on this journey, I encourage you to take that first step today and schedule an appointment.

Are you tired of being a prisoner to your own negative thoughts, trying everything to ease your sadness and frustration, but feel like you are going in circles? Maybe you've tried self-help books, talking to friends, staying busy, but to no avail. Have you gone through something recently or in the past, which was traumatic and painful, where you feel like keeping to yourself is safest, and doing whatever you can to not get hurt again? Maybe you feel unsure about the world, anxious, unmotivated, and don't know why.


Imagine what it would be like to wake up and not feel so anxious, and able to combat nagging, negative beliefs. Whether you have depression or anxiety, stemming from traumatic experiences or chronic illness, imagine being able to gain strength to gently put these experiences into perspective, and move on about your day.


Let me provide you with healing techniques and tools which I have utilized with many clients. Free yourself from the past and finally find "you" again. OR, let me help you find the new YOU. I offer free phone consultations, as having conversation over the phone with your clinician first, could put you at ease. Don't delay your peace, reach out now.
