Latoya Nixon

Hi, I'm Latoya Nixon, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience supporting individuals through life's challenges and transitions. I'm really glad you're here — reaching out for support is a big step, and I want you to feel comfortable taking that step with me.

I work with adolescents, children, adults, and seniors navigating experiences such as anxiety, depression, infertility, or a new medical diagnosis. I also have a strong focus on supporting LGBTQ+ clients, creating a space where you can feel fully seen, affirmed, and understood.

My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming environment where you can show up as yourself, explore what you're experiencing, and feel supported without judgment.

My approach is compassionate, grounded, and centered on what's most helpful to you. Together, we'll explore what's going on in your life right now, make sense of your emotions, and gently work through what's been weighing on you.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths-Based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you recognize unhelpful patterns, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for meaningful change.

When working through anxiety and depression, we'll explore thought patterns, emotional experiences, and behaviors while developing healthier coping strategies. For family issues, we'll look at relationship dynamics, communication, and boundaries to help you navigate challenges more confidently.

For stress management, we'll identify what's contributing to feeling overwhelmed and work toward practical ways to restore balance. When addressing women's issues, we'll make space for your individual experiences, changing needs, and personal goals.

I also welcome conversations about substance use, OCD, LGBTQIA+ experiences, cultural identity, grief and loss, infertility, PTSD, transgender issues, and chronic health conditions. My goal is to meet you where you are and provide support that reflects your unique experiences.

Our first session is a chance to slow things down and focus on you — what's been going on, what's been hardest, and what you're hoping will feel different. Most people leave their early sessions feeling heard, a little more grounded, and less alone.

You don't need to have everything figured out before we begin. I'll take time to understand your experiences, listen to your concerns, and help you identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic.

I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, knowing that your experiences will be met with compassion, respect, and understanding. My hope is that you leave therapy feeling more supported, more confident, and better able to move forward in a way that feels right for you.
