Tawnya Thompson
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)
About Tawnya
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in the state of North Carolina. I having been working in this field for over 25 years. I am fortunate to have been afforded the opportunity to work in a variety of settings. These settings include substance abuse treatment, mental health crises, domestic violence, critical incidences, youth corrections, individual, couples and family counseling. I have worked with clients who have had issues with depression, anxiety, stress and psychsocial problems. While I have benefitted greatly from these experiences, I believe myself to be most effective in individual counseling. I have taken the benefit of all these experiences and combined them to be the best counselor I can be. No matter the initial presentation of my clients, their issues tend to fall into one or more of the areas of my experience.
As a therapist, my theoretical approaches tend to be solution focused, reality based with an emphasis on how my client views him or herself and the world around them. I believe we all make decisions and exhibit individual behaviors based on what we perceive is happening to us and the world around us. My goal is to help my clients determine if their beliefs, as well as their actions, are helping them be the best they can be. In addition to that, I work to ensure that my clients have the emotional tools they need to appropriately and effectively manage the emotional ups and downs of life. As I see it, life is “a continuum of temporary circumstances that we all must navigate the best we can with the skills we have”.
My calling is to serve others, with the hope that I can contribute in some way to helping them make their lives better..

- “Wonderful listener”
- “Tawnya has a wonderful balance between being very professional but also very personable and feels like you are talking to a friend. As a person who does not trust or open up to very many people at all, I have found her to be extremely easy to open up to and look forward to our conversations. She provides guidance whenever it is needed and has been very helpful to me. I am able to view situations more rationally instead of emotionally with her help and that has been very beneficial to my mental health.”
- “She is a very personable therapist. She really listens and makes sharing my issues very comfortable.”
- “Tawnya is very insightful and knowledgeable about people, their motivations, and why they behave the way that they do. She has given me a lot of insight on my situation and has me considering important points I haven’t really focused on before. She is very easy to talk to and I feel very supported by her. I appreciate her thoughts and guidance.”
- “Second session was amazing!! Broke more ground and Ms. Thompson helped me understand the root of my issues. Definitely 10/10 therapist”
- “From my first appointment, Tawnya has made me feel comfortable and heard. She makes it clear that she's listening to me, and she asks me relevant questions to help me sort through my issues. She remembers what I've said and continues discussion lines based on previous conversations. I'm very happy to be working with her.”
- “She has been a life line literally”
- “Great therapist, always keeps me positive! Very knowledgeable, compassionate and truthful! Thankful to have found Tawnya!”
