(Not Accepting Outpatient Clients. Available for VASAP Assessments)

Hello, my name is Lakeisha, and I am the owner of Tandem Behavioral Health. To say that I am working in my dream job, would be an understatement. I absolutely love what I do, and who I do it for. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or your family, or you are seeing us to work on an addiction, I promise that you will be treated with care and concern. I pride myself on being ethical, warm and having respect for every individual, no matter who you are or where you are from. I assure you that each of our counselors and therapists will uphold and model the values that personal hold for this agency. If you are ever, not satisfied with your care, please reach out to me directly.

Although, I am currently not accepting new clients at this time, I think that it is important for you to know about me, so that you will know that you are in good hands. I received my Masters Degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2015. I became fully licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor, in 2018. After 2 years of licensure, I obtained an additional credential as an LPC supervisor. This credential allows me the opportunity to provide clinical supervision to Residents In Counseling, to ensure that they are knowledgeable, ethically, and therapeutic before they are independently licensed. I personally know that each of the residents that work for Tandem Behavioral Health possess all of these characteristics, because I supervise them. In addition to working with those living with mental illness, I have several years of experience working in Addictions, and I am a Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner with the Virginia Board of Counseling. I enjoy work with individuals that are struggling with an addiction, and helping them on their road to recovery. Recovery is real, and it can and will happen for you. When I am not working in addictions, I do see a small caseload of clients for individual counseling. My therapy modality is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as I have found that this modality is effective for various issues that individuals may struggle with. Last, I see clients that are preparing to have Bariatric surgery or are struggling with their relationship with food. I have a passion for this population, because I have been there and know the struggle. Regardless of what brought you to our site, there is something that is pushing you to get help. The time is now, do it!
