Healing Hearts Behavioral Health was created based on the belief that healing creates possibility. When people are given the opportunity to heal, they don’t just change their own lives, they change the lives of their children, their families, and communities around them.
I have been surrounded by strong, resilient women who taught me perseverance, compassion, and the importance of supporting each other. I have witnessed and experienced the invisible weight they carried as they balanced family, work, and life’s many responsibilities. Those experiences have shaped the woman I am as well as the therapist I thrive to be.
Healing Hearts Behavioral Health strives to provide a space where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. Therapy is more than addressing the symptoms, it is about discovering strengths, navigating challenges, healing from painful experiences and empowering you to create the change you desire in your life.
Meet Rashedah Tatum, LICSW
Founder & Therapist | Healing Hearts Behavioral Health
I believe that healing begins when people feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, I am passionate about creating a space where individuals can explore life’s challenges, discover their strengths, and move toward meaningful change.
My professional journey has taken me through school counseling, social-emotional learning, educational leadership, and outpatient mental health care. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how our emotional well-being is connected to our relationships, families, communities, and the environments in which we live and work. I bring this perspective into therapy, recognizing that every person’s story is unique and that healing is never one-size-fits-all.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work to help clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping skills, navigate difficult transitions, and build healthier relationships. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can show up as your authentic self.
I have a particular passion for supporting women, especially women of color and single mothers, who often carry the responsibility of caring for others while placing their own needs last. I believe that when women are supported in their healing and growth, the positive impact can extend to their families and communities. At the same time, Healing Hearts welcomes individuals from all backgrounds who are seeking compassionate, culturally responsive care.
