With a Doctorate in Biblical counseling and education, Dr. Watts integrates spiritual and faith-based best practices into her therapeutic approach. She offers counseling and therapy to the community, equipping clients with healthy coping mechanisms to promote mental wellness.

In December 2021, Dr. Tareva partnered with "The Dignified Aging Project" and Ingham County Treasurer Eric Schertzing to address the declaration of Racism as a Health Crisis in Ingham. The Mental Health Awareness and Resource Fair, organized as a response to this "call to action," aimed to raise awareness of mental wellness, with a specific focus on BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities.
