Tameka Whittlesey

Tameka Whittlesey, LCSW, LCASA, is a trauma and grief specialist who works with people facing family planning, pregnancy, and fertility challenges. She integrates EMDR and Somatic Experiencing (SE) to address both emotional and physical responses to trauma.

At Charlotte Women's Counseling she provides individual therapy, leads groups including "Healing After Loss: A Journey Through Grief and Pregnancy Loss," and offers EMDR Intensives in various formats, from 4-hour sessions to 3-day intensives. Her group work emphasizes somatic tools and nervous-system education.

Her approach is collaborative and empowerment-focused, creating a safe space to explore societal pressures, infertility, pregnancy loss, or consciously embracing a child-free lifestyle. She supports clients in processing and integrating traumatic memories while fostering acceptance and responsibility.
