Great to meet you!

I'm Latisha, an LCMHC trained at NC A&T State University, providing telehealth therapy throughout North Carolina to children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. As a Black female therapist, I bring both cultural awareness and lived understanding to this work — creating a space where you don't have to explain yourself before the healing can begin. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, ADHD, learning disabilities, family challenges, identity, and cultural concerns, with specialized training in Strategic Family Therapy, Structural Family approaches, and Parent Management Training. I listen first, meet you where you are, and build from your strengths.

My approach to therapy

My approach is integrative and family-systems informed — I think about individuals within the context of their relationships, families, and communities. I walk with you, not ahead of you.

  • For individuals: CBT and Trauma-Focused CBT address the patterns driving anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
  • For couples: Cognitive Behavioral Conjoint Therapy for PTSD and Solution-Focused Couples Therapy strengthen communication and connection.
  • For families: Strategic Family Therapy and Family Focused Therapy map household patterns and create lasting, sustainable change.
  • For parents: Parent Management Training delivers evidence-based tools for managing ADHD and behavioral challenges.

Motivational Interviewing guides the work when ambivalence about change is part of the picture. Together, we create space for healing, growth, and real transformation.

What you can expect from me

Come as you are. Our first session is a real conversation — not a checklist or an intake form. I'll ask what's brought you here, what you're hoping will feel different, and enough about your life to start building a picture of where we can go. If you're coming as a family or bringing a child, everyone in the room will feel heard before we do anything else. You'll leave with a starting direction and a plan that fits your actual life — not a generic template.
