We recently had the chance to connect with Tacha Fletcher and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Tacha, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
Typically, the first 90 minutes of my day usually start with waking up early and getting myself and my children ready to head out the door. Once they’re on their way to school, I shift into what I call my ‘CEO time’ at the gym. I recently implemented CEO time by blocking 1–2 hours on my calendar each day as a personal commitment to wellness. During this time, I focus on movement and self-care through workouts like cardio, yoga, cycling, or swimming. No matter how busy the day gets, I know I’ve carved out intentional time just for me—and that’s non-negotiable as both a business owner and mental health professional.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Tacha Fletcher, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with a deep passion for mental health and wellness.
In 2019, I founded Wellness Tree Counseling LCSW—a mental health and wellness practice committed to providing culturally responsive care. Our mission is to promote wellness through a culturally sensitive lens so that individuals, families, and communities feel empowered to rise to their full potential and engage with life in meaningful ways.
In my work as a Psychotherapist, I primarily work with Black millennial women and much of my work centers on helping clients overcome attachment trauma, depression, and anxiety.
In addition to my clinical work, I’m also a Certified Holistic Life Coach. I bring an intuitive and holistic approach to coaching, empowering women who are looking to grow in their careers, businesses, and personal relationships. My passion for wellness extends beyond individual therapy—I also provide strategic consultation for organizations looking to integrate mental wellness strategies and foster inclusive workplace cultures.
Outside of my career and business, I am a loving wife and mother to 3 children. I enjoy traveling, cooking, trying new things, and a lover of all things nature.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
Growing up, I didn’t always believe that I could make a difference in the world. From an early age, I enjoyed helping others—whether it was friends, family members, or even random strangers. Although this brought me great satisfaction, I didn’t fully understand the value and impact of being a compassionate person.
As I entered the social work field and later became a therapist, I realized that many people in the world suffer in silence. Being a therapist has taught me that it’s not the education, training, or credentials that make the greatest impact, but rather the warmth and compassion I bring to my work.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The fear of failing has held me back the most in my life.
Looking back, some of my biggest life lessons and achievements have come from failure. A mentor once told me, “In life, we win some; we learn some.” From that moment on, I began to approach failure as a lesson rather than a setback.
Just because I failed at something doesn’t mean I am a failure.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Is the public version of you the real you?
Absolutely! I am all about authenticity.
There was a time in my life when I wasn’t as authentic; I did a lot of people-pleasing. However, that became very emotionally exhausting. I often help my clients understand that it takes more out of us to people-please than to simply be our authentic selves.
What you see is what you get!
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel the most peace when I’m out in nature.
Being in nature allows me to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with myself. Even the simplest sensations—like sunlight on my skin or watching people pass by—can bring a sense of calm and peace. It’s in these moments that I feel most centered, grounded, and reminded of the simple beauty in life.
