About Tameka McFarland

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.

“I feel better talking toTameka..”

“Tameka is an active listener that gives me strategies to work through my obstacles in a constructive way! I look forward to our sessions!”

“Can’t put into words how much Tameka has walked with me through this process! She’s knowledgeable, dependable, and I look forward to each session. I’ve seen tremendous growth and progress since first starting therapy with her and I look forward to continuing to grow in the New Year!”

“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 ❤️”

“Awesome all around!”

“Tameka has been very helpful in helping us evaluate healthy coping and behaviors and is extremely professional and personable. I really enjoy how she gently challenges beliefs or constructions and evaluates them.”

“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.”

“We had our 1st session with Tameka McFarland about 3 weeks ago. We both found her very easy to talk to and she did a great job of being candid and open in our discussions. I would highly recommend her to anyone who looking to be honest with themselves and do the work of healing.”

“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.”
