Tawnya Thompson, LCMHC

Tawnya Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with more than 25 years of experience working across diverse clinical settings. She has provided care in substance abuse treatment programs, mental health crisis services, domestic violence response, critical incident work, youth corrections, and in individual, couples, and family counseling environments.

Over her career she has supported people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and a range of psychosocial challenges, and she draws on that broad background to inform her individual work. While she is experienced across many settings, she finds individual counseling to be the context where she is most effective, integrating lessons from addiction treatment, crisis intervention, and family systems into one-on-one care.

Her therapeutic style leans toward solution-focused and reality-based approaches with a strong emphasis on how each client perceives themselves and the world around them. She helps clients examine whether their beliefs and behaviors serve their goals and works to build practical emotional tools to manage life’s ups and downs. Tawnya views life as a series of temporary circumstances to navigate with the skills available, and she aims to help clients strengthen those skills.

Guided by a calling to serve others, Tawnya applies her years of experience to assist individuals in making meaningful, sustainable changes in their lives.
