ABOUT ME

My name is Tia, I am the owner and provider for Purposeful Living Counseling Services, PLLC. I have been in the mental health field for nearly 12 years with experience with children, adults and geriatric population. I am a graduate of High Point University and Liberty University. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Counselor Associate with the state of NC. I have a strong passion for working with single mothers because I am a single mother of 4 wonderful children. I believe the key to a successful therapy relationship is honesty and meeting the patient where they are in the healing process. I also believe it is just as important for the patient to ensure my "style" of therapy is a fit for them, so asking questions and/or interviewing me is essential. Then we can proceed with healing and growing!

The mission of Purposeful Living Counseling Services, PLLC is to EMPOWER families, parents and individuals regardless of their income or situation, to improve their lives by providing person centered and prevention focused mental, relational and substance abuse treatment.
