Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm LaToya. If you're an adult navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, a major life transition, or a complex mix of challenges, you don't have to carry it alone. I bring more than 30 years of leadership and advocacy experience across healthcare, military, and social service settings, including my own background as a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, into every session. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 6 years in the mental health field, I specialize in acute care and behavioral health, helping adults work through even the most complex psychosocial needs.

My approach to therapy

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and direct, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. Together we'll identify limiting beliefs and reconnect with your sense of purpose and confidence in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we'll begin building a strong therapeutic relationship as I get to know your concerns, experiences, and goals for therapy. I want you to feel heard, understood, and supported from the very first conversation as we identify meaningful goals for your healing and growth. You can book directly through my calendar.
