MY HISTORY & EXPERIENCE
Tanika Barber, also known as The InnerG Healer is a licensed clinical social worker, holistic wellness practitioner, and the visionary founder of MBS Therapy & Wellness PLLC, a group mental health practice located in Charlotte, NC.
Respect my InnerG.
That isn’t just a mantra — it’s a way of life.
I’m Tanika Barber, also known as The InnerG Healer. I am a guide, a space-holder, and a reminder that healing begins within. My work is rooted in the belief that when you learn how to honor your innerG, everything else begins to align — your mind, your body, your relationships, and the way you show up in the world.
My journey didn’t begin with titles or credentials — it began with learning how to slow down, listen inward, and choose myself in a world that constantly rewards overgiving and burnout. Along the way, I discovered the power of sound, energy, stillness, and intentional reflection — practices that transformed not only my life, but the way I support others in their healing and growth.
I eared my Masters in Social Work in 2014 and became a licensed clinical social worker(LCSW) in 2018, however, The InnerG Healer LLC is the evolution of my work beyond the therapy room. This is where education, energy, and embodied wisdom come together. Where science met spirituality. Where healing is not about fixing what’s broken, but remembering what’s always been whole.
Through Reiki, Sound and Breathwork Trainings and experiences, retreats, and sacred community gatherings, I support individuals in reconnecting with themselves, regulating their nervous systems, and reclaiming their power. I also work with therapists and helping professionals through my signature coaching and training program, Beyond the Couch, helping them break cycles of burnout and build practices rooted in alignment, sustainability, and self-trust.
At my core, I believe healing is a deeply personal journey — one that requires safety, intention, and compassion. My role is not to save or fix, but to walk alongside you as you remember who you are and step boldly into your next chapter.
I don’t rush healing.
I don’t force alignment.
And I don’t abandon myself for anyone.
This work is for those who know that power doesn’t always look loud — sometimes it looks grounded, discerning, and unbothered.
InnerG is your inner gangster.
It’s the part of you that stays soft without becoming weak.
The part of you that sets boundaries without guilt.
The part of you that knows who you are — and moves accordingly.
Healing is an inside job.
And when you respect your InnerG, everything changes.
Respect your InnerG!

TESTIMONIALS
“I HAD THE PLEASURE OF EXPERIENCING MY VERY FIRST SESSION WITH TANIKA,”
I’m not sure if words could express how amazed I was. Definitely a practice I will add to my healing/wellness journey. If you’re curious or on the fence, give it a try. Tanika made me feel very comfortable and I was able to relax and getthe most out of my session. I have been talking about my experience to anyone who would listen…and already trying to figure out how I can get my girls together so they can experience it too!!
