La'Nika Graham

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Education in Counseling and Development, specializing in Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling. I bring 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across private, public, nonprofit, and community-based settings.

My professional background includes working in schools, child protective services, foster care, and programs supporting individuals and families experiencing displacement, immigration-related challenges, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), pregnancy, dual diagnoses, and homelessness. These experiences have strengthened my ability to understand people within the context of their relationships, families, cultures, and life circumstances.

Having moved frequently as a child and ultimately being raised in Texas, I developed an appreciation for different perspectives and life experiences. I value cultural humility and strive to create a space where clients feel respected, understood, and comfortable being themselves.

Outside of work, I enjoy sports, traveling, spending time with loved ones, my dog Daisey, and being outdoors.

My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to provide support, perspective, and tools that help you move toward the changes you want to make.

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, adapting interventions to your individual needs and goals. My training in both individual counseling and Marriage, Couple, and Family Counseling allows me to consider both the individual and the relational systems that may influence your experiences.

I pride myself on being flexible and open-minded. Together, we can explore what is working, identify areas for growth, and develop strategies that feel realistic and meaningful to you. My goal is to foster an environment grounded in empathy, trust, knowledge, and growth while honoring your culture, values, and personal experiences.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We will discuss your concerns, experiences, strengths, and goals, while beginning to identify what you hope to gain from counseling.

I recognize that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so there is no expectation that you have everything figured out. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you and begin building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual respect. By the end of our initial work together, we will have a better understanding of your needs and begin developing a personalized direction for therapy.
