JOINED CCHCI IN 2015

Why I Believe in the Mission of CCHCI

I believe in the mission of Chiricahua because it states very clearly “health care of all” and mental health care is such an important part of one’s overall health and wellbeing. Being able to assist Chiricahua with providing quality mental health care to all of our patients means being able to help change the overall wellbeing of all Cochise County one patient, one family and one community at a time. I look forward to bringing mental health care to all for many years to come.


TAMIKA’S BACKGROUND

I was born in Virginia but lived in several states and countries due to being part of a military family. I went to Virginia Polytechnical Institute and University (Virginia Tech) for undergrad degree in Family and Child Development. I received my Master’s Degree from a joint program with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCA&T). I am a current doctoral candidate with Cummings Graduate Institute for my Doctorate of Behavioral Health.

My experiences of living all over the world encouraged me to be interested in working with people from all walks of life. Having worked with both children and adults in both a crisis and chronic case management setting I feel very passionate about my ability to assist people with all mental health questions and concerns.

I enjoy spending time with my two wonderful children, 14 and 16, my awesome husband of two years, and all the wonderful family I have located in the area.  Studying for my doctorate program has taken away all of my hobbies but my faith and my love of travel still hold a special place in my heart.
