More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 10 State: North Carolina

As a therapist, I understand the bravery it takes to be completely vulnerable with another

individual. My role in the counseling room is to meet you right where you are with respect,

compassion, and non-judgement. I find it a privilege to journey with a client.

Hi, I’m Tavares Bostic, I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

Best known for my down-to-earth and very sound approach, I look to help people marry the discontent they may

feel in their lives, with proven coping mechanisms focusing on reducing symptoms related to

their mental health diagnosis. With over a decade of experience, I have long been an advocate for

helping remove the stigma attached to mental illness, helping couples renew their love and focus

to one another, and ensuring that older adults in assisted living and retirement communities

become educated on symptoms which are directly related to mental health diagnoses and become

motivated to address them by engaging in psychotherapy and most appropriate psychotropic

medication.

I was blessed enough to earn my master’s in social work with a certification in clinical mental

health from The University of Pittsburgh and my bachelors of social work from North Carolina

A&T State University. I believe that the combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and Reality

therapy is one of the most effective ways of empowering individuals to become their best. I have

had the opportunity to work in multiple settings over the past 10 years and I’ve covered mental

illness across the spectrum.

Let’s sort out what troubles you in healthy ways by exploring your individual experience, and uncovering your unique strengths. I want to empower you to

find your best path through this life as you heal from past hurts and search for meaning, purpose, and direction.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

We spoke for the first time. I am very comfortable and confident in him.

Tavares is very upfront and honest. He definitely makes your mind start thinking differently and opens your eyes in a positive way. I feel he has helped me a lot in the short time he has been working with me.

Tavares Bostic is simply amazing!!

Tavares does an excellent job of listening and helping process through issues that I wasn't equipped to deal with. I definitely recommend him to any younger people who feel like their journey through life leaves them a little confused

I have been working with Tavares for over 2 years. He's been a rock for me. When we began I was in a deep depression and needed support to be the man for myself and my family. I'm now out of my depression and am envisioning what's next professionally and personally. This process has truly helped me claim my voice and reclaim hope.

Tavares is a great therapist that truly listens and understands you. He also takes a no nonsense approach to the conservations where you will certainly be getting your money and time’s worth.

He listens to my concerns as he guides me down the wellness path. I'm sure I would not be able to navagate my healing journey without his help. I was reading an article about appreciation and I thought of Tavares Bostic. Thank you again for your support, it made a real difference for me!

From the first moment I spoke with Tavares I could tell that he was on my side and willing to help me heal from my past and supports taking steps in the right direction. He is thoughtful, asks questions when appropriate, and LISTENS without judgment. I just started working with Tavares but I am confident and excited to see where our work together takes me. Thank you, Tavares.

Sensitive, thoughtful, caring, and extremely supportive. He’s generous with his time and his thoughts, and I couldn’t think of a better person to include in your support network as a therapist.

I’ve been through many many therapists in my lifetime. Tavares is the most accepting, and helpful person I’ve ever met. He really helps you and makes you believe in yourself again, no matter how far down that hole you think might be. He’ll be there to bring you back. He is incredible at his work. Thank you Tavares!

He is by far the best therapist and very easy to talk to. He’s helpful and understanding. He truly cares and I appreciate him listening and helping me.

Made me feel comfortable enough to open up to him and get some things i've had on my mind out

Tavares is amazing! So insightful.

His expertise an subtle but enlightening questions an insight was thought provoking from my experience with him. Could not ask for a better first time therapist an although are time was short, I now have the first steps to bettering myself in my future endeavors an think in a wider perspective of not only myself but to think about others as well. To communicate what I want from people an have the confidence to do so, with time an thoughtful efforts I can now see myself in a better light.

I am very blessed to have a great counselor. There are no judgements. Though my brother(s) are no longer present, I feel like I am in very good hands.

The most compassionate therapist I’ve encountered

I am very blessed to have Tavares as my therapist. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate.

Tavares has allowed me to open up my life so naturally and for once, it doesn't feel like therapy. I mean that in the best way. It feels like I'm just talking with a friend full of knowledge to help me navigate so many different emotions and feelings in life. I brag to my homies about how my therapist is a homie. If he is the right match for a person, they will truly have an amazing person on their team.

The months, so far, spent speaking with Tavares has helped me really dig deep into areas I never thought I needed to before. It's helped me identify behaviors and the triggers that made changes come about. I absolutely love the way Tavares uses a "keep it 100" attitude when speaking with you. For me, this keeps the message he is delivering real and lets me know its not just from a book but its real in thoughts! I look forward to every session scheduled

I really can not say how much i enjoyed the time i have spent with Tavares, his understanding and empathy for my situation without any bias was a joy. I can not recommend him enough for the past 7 sessions i have actually looked forward to my time with him.

Tavares is a great match for me. He is great at guiding the discussion and has the perfect mix of professional with a personal touch. I would highly recommend him to a friend!

He is wonderful.

Thoughtful and I always leave the sessions with a better idea of what I need to think about!

Tavares is wonderful! I’ve tried therapy twice before and both times were unpleasant as my feelings were dismissed and invalidated. Tavares on the other hand makes me feel heard. I look forward to our sessions and his advice each and every time.

I’ve continued to work with Tavares because he respects me, is thoughtful and has helped me to grow. I’m getting stronger through our work.

Using Better Help over the course of the last few weeks, I have needed to make some changes in Therapists and Tavares is such a great fit for what I am looking for throughout this journey. I cannot wait to continue forward.

I really like Tavares and he has offered good advice for me dealing with my current situations. When I first signed up with BetterHelp, I thought I only wanted to deal with a female therapist. Because of scheduling conflicts, I wasn’t able to connect with the female therapists that I had chosen. Tavares was another therapist that was on the list. Because I wanted to start sooner than later I decided to try him. Glad that I did!

Travis and I have only been working together for a few weeks but he is the best therapist I’ve had on this app I’m not even gonna lie. He gives Amazing advice, I feel like I’m being heard and he’s makes me actually want to challenge myself! I feel like he’s an old friend, 10/10 would recommend!!

The best therapist I've ever had.

I have had two sessions. He is clear and concise, professional and I believe he will be able help me get pass some decisions I need to make ahead and accomplish my what is best for me!

He’s awesome!

Tavares understands the needs of providers in our field. I appreciate his wisdom, tact and sense of humor!

Puts life back into perspective make you think and feel positive about yourself.

Easy going, supportive, and great listener. The conversations flow easy and by the end of the conversation many topics/ issues have been covered. It's like talking to a friend with a professional lense.

He is really good I look forward to talking to him on a regular

I've been with Tavares for a year and he has been super helpful and amazing he is always there to listen and give feedback on what I need and is great at helping me achieve my goals and better myself. This past year has definitely been for the better with T as my therapist.

Tavares is an excellent listener who balances compassion with challenge. He brings his authentic self to every session, which in turn, encourages his clients to do likewise.

Tavares is an amazing therapist because he listens to understand, has helped me to see challenging situations differently and always makes me feel heard as well as seen. He's helped me to navigate some difficult times and I'm forever grateful. BetterHelp is lucky to have Tavares on their team! Extremely lucky!

i always feel comfortable talking to Tavares and he always takes the time to listen and understand your situation then finds a way to resolve or alleviate your troubles at a steady pace. Tavares is professional without being intimidating and i always feel like i can message him in between sessions whenever i need. I would 100% recommend tavares to anyone who feels they need a little extra support.

I've had many therapists in the past but Tavares is the first to truly make me feel like he understands my concerns. He provides me with confortability I have never felt with any other therapist.

Tavares was very insightful and friendly but was also able to challenge me when I needed.

Tavares has been extremely open, clear, and practical in all his work with me so far. He's a great listener and open to what works best, yet still pushes me to continue improving my thought processes and the way I think about myself and my struggles. He uses a results-driven approach that focuses on trying new approaches and sticking with what works that I feel would be beneficial for most anyone else

This was a real dumping session for me, and I needed it! An uninterrupted chance to get erythg out that I've been holding in, without fear or being judged. Taveres feedback& homework let me know that he was listening and I appreciate that!! I'm really looking forward to working w/Tavares, to create a healthier new beginning!

Tavares is a great person for me to start my journey of therapy for the first time. Amazing demeanor, extremely understandimg and instills confidence. I would recommend him to anyone I know who is looking for similar support.

He's very helpful. He listens and responds accordingly. He's considerate and makes you feel like you're talking to a friend not a stranger and I always feel better after our sessions.

Super nice. Super helpful.
