Tamecka Henningham
I am a Black therapist dedicated to creating a healing space rooted in safety, authenticity, and respect. I offer a nonjudgmental environment where you can show up as your full self and feel supported in your healing journey. My work focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and identity exploration. Together, we explore emotions, patterns, and experiences while developing practical solutions that support growth, clarity, and emotional well-being. Born and raised in Los Angeles, my family's roots in a third-world country have instilled in me a profound appreciation for cultural diversity. I earned my undergraduate degree in Social Work with a minor in Gerontology from Mount St. Mary's University in 2009. I then pursued my Master's in Social Work at California State University, Dominguez Hills, graduating in 2011. Additionally, I hold a Mental Health Certificate.

Talking to Tamecka has always felt like a safe space. I can bring my unfiltered thoughts, worries, and wins to the session, and she helps me sort through it all. Unbiased. Nonjudgemental. I've been seeing her for a year and still look forward to our sessions. I couldn't recommend her more.

Tamecka is so sweet and caring and the therapist I have needed for a long time now. She's really helping me process a lot of my past traumas and allowing me the grace to feel held and seen every step of the way. She's truly amazing.

She was real with me, and that's what I needed. I got the vibe that she really wanted to help me work through my issues. I'm excited to work with Mrs. Henningham.
