About UCC

Tamika Thomas is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and the owner of Urban Collective Counseling, LLC—a Denver-based mental health practice. She is also a certified yoga instructor, completing her 200-hour teacher training with Satya Yoga Cooperative in 2018 and an additional 200-hour Grieving Mindful teacher training with the Grief Support Network in 2020.

​

Before becoming a mental health clinician, Tamika worked as a youth case manager supporting high-risk youth and their families across diverse community settings. She brings extensive experience working with youth and young adults and integrates Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her practice to create an individualized, grounded, and compassionate therapeutic approach.

​

Tamika is passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health and takes a collaborative, “passenger-seat” approach—walking alongside clients as they navigate the challenges and transitions in their lives. Having spent years serving underserved communities, she is particularly committed to supporting POC youth and their families as they work through unique cultural and systemic challenges.

​

Deeply connected to her community, Tamika has volunteered and served on multiple boards and community organizations throughout Colorado. She is dedicated to being a force for meaningful change.

Outside of her professional work, Tamika is a proud mother of four sons. She loves spending time with her children, family, and friends, and finds joy in cooking, exploring new foods, laughing, and nurturing her faith as a daughter of Christ.
