"Breaking Down the Stigma: How Dr. Tareva Watts, LLMSW is Advocating for Mental Wellness"

Dr. Tareva Watts, LLMSW, is making a significant impact in the field of clinical social work. Her mission is to assist individuals in their journey toward mental wellness and restoration. A native of Lansing, Michigan, Dr. Watts takes pride in giving back to her community.

With a Doctorate in Biblical counseling and education, Dr. Watts integrates spiritual and faith-based best practices into her therapeutic approach. She offers counseling and therapy to the community, equipping clients with healthy coping mechanisms to promote mental wellness.

At Inspired Faith Counseling & Consultation (IFCC), a faith-based practice, Dr. Watts provides a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. With expertise in trauma, relationships, and personal growth, she aims to unearth inner strength and resilience in others within a judgment-free environment.

In December 2021, Dr. Tareva partnered with "The Dignified Aging Project" and Ingham County Treasurer Eric Schertzing to address the declaration of Racism as a Health Crisis in Ingham. The Mental Health Awareness and Resource Fair, organized as a response to this "call to action," aimed to raise awareness of mental wellness, with a specific focus on BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities.
