Lashaunda Holmes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate. Through her experience working with diverse populations, she has developed a true passion for accepting every person, regardless of where they are in life. She believes in the power of holding space for individuals to be their true authentic selves. Lashaunda leads each session with empathy and support to cultivate a judgement-free environment. She is aware that vulnerability and transparency is difficult. She values and believes that developing a strong rapport and providing clients with a safe environment is key to a successful client-therapist relationship.

I strive to create an environment for each client that is as liberating as it is welcoming to inspire a growth mindset. Our sessions have a person-centered foundation and incorporate approaches such as CBT, Somatic, ACT, Existential, Narrative, Brainspotting, and yoga-based therapies as needed. I find that the methods listed help foster a growth mindset and allow clients to reflect on their experiences and explore their goals and values at a pace that suits them. Sessions, treatment planning, and goals are the result of our partnership, and it's important that you always feel comfortable in the design of your care.

I help individuals, couples, and families explore how they would like to see their lives change for the better. We navigate relationship issues, parenting challenges, difficulties engaging with peers, and how to set healthy boundaries.

I would like to reach those brave souls who have gone through unsuccessful treatment in the past but who have not given up hope of finding the right therapist. Healing is an art as well as a science, and if a health care professional - regardless of title or degree - cannot incorporate that truth, no enduring benefit can arise. It is unacceptable that so many wounded, hurting people end up not receiving what they need from a therapeutic engagement — and every aspect of my approach to healing is underpinned by a stark awareness that failures in treatment are in almost every case due to the professional and not the client.

The client's I see typically struggle with intense and dysregulating emotions on a daily basis. They experience seemingly endless rumination and self-judgement. Their overanalytical mindset works against them as they struggle to find balance and meaning in their lives. Their interpersonal difficulties keep them from finding the connections they need. Often, they feel as though they are at the mercy of their emotions and their attempts to cope have become unhealthy. They are looking for someone who understands, who has been there themselves. They are looking for a way out but have become lost in the myriad and confusion.

I am a Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts Therapist and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. For more than 20 years, I have walked alongside Clients through Grief and Trauma in both Individual and Group Settings. I have experience working with all ages, although my focus currently is with Teen Girls and Women experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Trauma, Medical Illness, Anger/Stress Management, and Life Transitions.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to completely pour out the issues of life. From modest daily concerns to overcoming battles with addiction or trauma, my passion is to provide that safe space, and help guide you on your journey to a healthy and quality life. I understand the importance of creating a kind and nonjudgmental environment and I implement this to build trust and rapport so that individuals can be their true and authentic self.

Are you ready to give yourself permission to be the 'Adult' you have always wanted to be? Adulting is a choice. Permission to enjoy your life! Permission to be content! Walk in Faith! Taking Life on Life's Terms. I work with individuals/couples to find new ways to open up to a life of peace/joy. Women who can't get past their relationships with their mothers, children who are overwhelmed and families who just need help/direction. Experience with Group work on Sobriety Lifestyles Issue, Coping Skills, Mindfulness & Codependency. Depression and Anxiety can improve with increased self awareness.

I understand that it can be very difficult to take steps towards positive change or to seek support when facing challenges in your life. Therefore, a goal when working with a new client is to create a comfortable environment. I strive to get to know you and to understand what you want from our work. I believe that each person's needs will be different, so I draw from a wide range of techniques to tailor our sessions to your specific goals. These tools can help you understand life patterns, improve relationships and accomplish your personal or professional goals.

Having struggles with depression, anxiety, fear, past traumas, or addictive behaviors? I invite you to experience a new way of healing old wounds, finding new sources of energy to improve your relationships, and embark on the journey of self-discovery. I can share with you refined ways of managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self -image, dealing with past traumas, addressing addictions, and relationship issues, utilizing depth work, motivational therapies, and cognitive behavioral therapies.

I provide assessment and therapy services in order to better understand the unique needs of my clients and help them achieve their goals in a collaborative and supportive environment. My approach to therapy is individualized, focusing on the unique strengths and challenges of each client. I have experience treating a variety of emotional and behavioral difficulties including anxiety, depression, self-harm, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, defiance, and anger issues. I also have experience working with parents to improve communication skills, use more effective discipline techniques, and develop helpful behavior management practices.

Dealing with depression, anxiety, grief or unresolved trauma and you don’t know where to start? Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed and want to access the healing that you deserve? True healing and freedom both require authenticity. You can’t heal what you haven’t accepted thus, you must be willing to take the journey that is uniquely yours. It’s okay to ask for help along the way.

If past traumas are interfering with your life, if you struggle with managing your emotions, or if you have patterns of self-harm and suicidal thoughts, I'd love to meet with you. People I work with have usually tried therapy before, but found that their progress stalled out or bogged down. If that sounds familiar, reach out and give it another try.

After decades spent honing my clinical practice, I have come to believe that personal turbulence unites us all. We have all been "there" in some shape or fashion. My approach, put simply, is partnership. I partner with others to navigate significant transitional moments including illness, loss of identity, complex grief, trauma recovery, and personal discovery. We all experience the tumult of life and are offered opportunities for growth. In my experience I have found that enhanced self-esteem, contact with supportive others, and an understanding of one's coping pitfalls can go a long way in easing the stress inherent in change.

Imagine that with some time you learn to trust me, but really trust me. You feel like you can be just as you are and like you don’t need to wear a mask, even in the midst of sharing a fear or being vulnerable. Imagine that when you are doing this I don’t run away or trivialize what is giving you trouble or how you hurt. Instead, I sit with you – sometimes over and over. There is no need to change or be different before I can accept you. Then, when it’s right, I will learn to attend to your troubles carefully and decisively.

I enjoy working with clients who seek to grow emotionally, relationally and spiritually. I believe therapy is an opportunity to come alongside others to help them heal and grow. I am relational in my approach. I believe that people have been broken in relationships and that we are healed in the context of relationships. Over the past 19 years I have had many clients reach their goals and experienced transformation through the counseling process. There is no greater privilege than being able to walk beside people in their healing journey. Evening and weekday appointments available. Contact me via phone, text or email.

Counseling is such a bold and brave step in the process of healing. I believe that healthy development and growth are not reached by the elimination of pain and challenges, but rather in developing healthy methods of understanding, coping with, and responding to pain. This can be a challenging, but a beautiful process, and I am honored to walk with my clients through it. Most of my training is in working with women and I enjoy working alongside them as they navigate working through trauma, work/life balance, anxiety, boundary issues, guilt/shame, identity issues, life transitions, self-esteem, depression, and/or loss.

Are you experiencing periods of sadness or feeling anxious? Or maybe you have a child who is having some difficulties? What about that recent event in your life that has got you down? When life happens, it is often difficult to move forward. However, creating a positive shift and discovering a new way of living after life’s circumstances is possible.
