Hello, my name is Tekoa. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor specializing in Addiction Therapy, I address the multifaceted challenges that often accompany substance use. If drugs or alcohol have negatively impacted your life, affecting your stability, family relationships, or career, and you feel trapped in a cycle of desperation, I offer a supportive path forward. I am committed to understanding your aspirations for sobriety, recovery, and overall well-being. Together, we will navigate the complexities of this journey in a safe and collaborative space, addressing underlying issues such as low self-worth, shame, guilt, unforgiveness, denial, dishonesty, pain, and loss. My therapeutic approach is direct and solution-focused. We will collaboratively explore the factors contributing to your current situation and develop a clear plan for positive change. While acknowledging the impact of external circumstances, I emphasize personal responsibility for life choices and the capacity for self-directed change. You possess the strength to achieve your goals, and I am here to partner with you in that process.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our initial session, my primary focus will be to understand the circumstances and motivations that have led you to seek therapy at this time. This session is dedicated to exploring your aspirations for our work together and identifying how I can best support you in achieving your goals. Through this open dialogue, we will begin to establish a clear and purposeful therapeutic relationship upon which we can build meaningful progress.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

A significant strength I bring to therapy is the capacity to integrate my personal experiences with professional expertise, offering a deeper level of insight and perspective into complex situations. Beyond clinical knowledge, I understand that navigating challenges often requires hope, courage, patience, resilience, perseverance, and trust. My own journey has cultivated these qualities within me, and I believe that your presence here signifies a similar inner strength. I am ready to embark on this journey with you.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am uniquely positioned to serve individuals across all ethnic and racial backgrounds who are grappling with the challenges of achieving and sustaining sobriety. My commitment extends particularly to People of Color, African American, Hispanic, and all underserved communities, ensuring culturally sensitive and impactful support for those often facing systemic barriers to recovery.
