Meet Latoya.
Our inner thoughts, beliefs, and mindsets shape our actions and behaviors and often create patterns that are challenging to break out of.
I am a Passionate Counselor who believes in positively impacting the lives of all those in my sphere of influence.
I have spent the last decade reflecting, teaching, and motivating children and adults to overcome depression, grief, and anxiety with the hopes of them becoming authentic and positive contributors to society.
My therapeutic approach is person-centered. I focus on the person and what they can do, not the "hindrances" they may face.
I help my clients focus on their aspirations and tailor therapy to their unique circumstances.
YOU HAVE THE POWER!! Schedule a session today, and let me help you map out a plan to help you access, make decisions, live, and love from that place of power!
