Great to meet you!

I’m LaWanda Hanes, a Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of Tie It All Together.

With over 20 years of experience in counseling, personal development, and transformation work, I’ve helped individuals and couples move from confusion, emotional pain, and internal pressure into clarity, confidence, and peace.

My work is rooted in a holistic, inside-out approach—addressing your thoughts, emotions, and lived experiences together, not in isolation.

While my primary focus is counseling and emotional healing, I also bring a forward-focused lens into our work—helping you not only process where you’ve been, but move intentionally toward the life you want to create.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me is both supportive and purposeful.

You’ll have space to process what you’re going through—but we won’t stay stuck there. I help you connect the dots between your past experiences, core beliefs, and current patterns so you can understand why you feel the way you do—and what to do about it.

Clients often come to me when they are:

  • Emotionally overwhelmed or burned out
  • Struggling with anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt
  • Navigating relationship challenges or communication breakdowns
  • Processing past hurt, betrayal, or unresolved pain
  • Feeling stuck in life and unsure how to move forward

Through our work, you won’t just gain insight—you’ll develop the tools and internal clarity needed to respond differently, make aligned decisions, and create meaningful change in your life.

What you can expect from me

Our early sessions focus on understanding your story, identifying your therapy goals, and building a clear path forward. From there, we get to the root beliefs driving how you feel — so that what shifts in session shows up in your life. Most clients feel real movement within weeks.
