Great to meet you!

Laneka is committed to creating a supportive, affirming space where clients feel heard and valued.

My approach to therapy

Laneka uses an integrative, evidence-based approach that includes CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Her style is warm, empowering, and solution-oriented, with a focus on helping clients build resilience, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. We’ll spend time getting to know one another, discussing what brought you to therapy, and identifying what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll also explain how therapy works, answer any questions you have, and collaborate with you on next steps. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, respected, and supported.
