Getting to know Tamika Wheeler

My name is Tamika Wheeler. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (license number 37PC01080900) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I treat a range of diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have been a counselor for over seven years, specializing in alcohol and drug counseling. I predominantly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist my clients but will incorporate other theoretical interventions as needed. I like to help clients identify how their thinking patterns impact their feelings and create their behaviors. I also work with clients to uncover the root causes of issues that affect their functioning and assist them in learning new ways of thinking and behaving.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I like to spend at least three to four sessions getting to know you. During this time, I would like you to identify your core beliefs, strengths and weaknesses. This means you will have to put in the work to get the results you want. I provide homework assignments as needed and/or preferred by you the client.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical first session consists of gathering information about you and your presenting issue. Once this information is gathered, you will identify your goals.
