Greetings!

If you’re a woman who feels stuck in the same cycles—picking the wrong partner, craving deeper intimacy, or simply yearning to feel alive again—welcome. You’ve just found your therapist.

​

I am Dr. Tameca N. Harris-Jackson, also known as Dr. Tea (for my love of tea). I am a Florida- and Virginia-licensed Clinical Social Worker, Marriage & Family Therapist, Sex and Relationship Therapist, Relationship Coach, Board Certified Clinical Sexologist and AASECT-Certified Sexuality Educator with over 25 years of experience helping women and coup[es reclaim their joy, passion, and power. As the founder of Hope & Serenity Health Services and Healing Journeys, I specialize in blending traditional mental health therapy with holistic sex and intimacy work for women who are ready to experience healthy love on their own terms and for couples who are ready to rediscover the passion and intimacy that lives within you. 

​

The individuals who find me are mostly women or couples who are ready for change, and open to exploring new ways to experience pleasure, purpose, and connection. Whether you’re in a relationship or longing for one that finally feels right, my goal is to help you understand yourself, your patterns, and help you untangle the patterns that keep you choosing partners who do not serve your soul—and I do it with compassion and a bold belief in your potential. My work is especially attuned to those who are excited about self-discovery, as we often enjoy experiences that encourage you to go deeper such as guided journaling, other mindfulness practices (solo or with a partner) and retreats. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Feminist Theory, and Psychodynamic frameworks. I am also integrative and holistic, bringing in all that impacts and influences you to be the best you can be - including physical health, sleep, nutrition, and more. I am also a proudly affirming therapist for LGBTQIA+, kinky, polyamorous,  nontraditional relationships, and body positivity.

​

My path to helping you comes with much determination, life experience, and study. My studies include a PhD in Human Sexuality from Widener University, a Master's in Social Work from the University of Maryland - Baltimore, and a Bachelor's in Counseling and Women's Studies from Old Dominion University. My research centers on the role of religiosity in Black women’s sexuality, and I am passionate about dismantling shame, healing trauma, and helping women fully embody their sexual and emotional selves—especially Women of Color who’ve been historically underserved, unseen, or underestimated. 

​

In addition to being the owner of Hope & Serenity and Healing Journeys (where I pour into my passion of travel and healing and invite you to join me), I also serve as a board member for the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) and I am committed to mentorship and the advancement of future therapists and educators - serving as a qualified supervisor (QS) for social work and marriage and family therapist interns in the state of Florida. 

​

When I am not seeing clients or leading one of my AH-MAZING retreats, you’ll find me traveling domestically or internationally, sipping teas, reading, and indulging in the best vegan eats I can find.

​

If you’re ready to make a change in your life, your relationships, or your pleasure - I'm here and ready for you, without judgement. I see you, I celebrate you, and I'm here to help you start living the life that’s been calling you all along.

​

To help you get started, feel free to grab a copy of my journal to aid with your processing, self-discovery, and growth.
