Dakota Tuggle, MSW, LCSWA

Dakota is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) who has been working with individuals and families in various settings for the past 8 years. She received her bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies from UNC Charlotte and served two years with AmeriCorps upon graduating. During her time with AmeriCorps, she worked in schools as a tutor, mentor, and site coordinator for a literacy program.

She completed two internships during the program where she was able to conduct individual and group therapy sessions and crisis counseling. She was employed as a graduate assistant for NCCU’s Collegiate Recovery Program where she focused on creating a safe space for students seeking recovery from addictions.
