Join me in taking your first steps into counseling. I want to walk with you as you discover your strengths and work through difficulties that brought you here. I am a mindfulness and somatic based counselor who believes that our trauma and stress can be held within the body. Processing it in mindful ways aids us to moving on to greater things. Working at all stages of life, we face different demands and struggles. I work with families, couples and individuals based on their needs of the moment. I am also passionate about working within the LGBTQ+ community and helping others find a safe haven to feel better understood.

Have you ever thrown a rock in a pond? Have you noticed what the water does? That thrown rock can represent the issue or life change that you are experiencing. The ripples in the water may be the effects on yourself or others while you are trying to find resolution. I believe in you and your ability to make the changes that YOU feel you need. Talking with a therapist can help you deal with many issues that can promote moving forward. This is a safe place for you to begin or enhance your therapy journey. If you are new to therapy this is a comforting and safe place to begin the journey of finding your True Beginning.

I believe in meeting my clients where they are and helping them to move in the direction they dream of being. No two people are alike, so I treat the individual as an individual without judgment. This therapy allows the client to navigate their treatment better since they are doing the work; I am just here to facilitate their progress. After all, we only get one turn on this rock we call earth. We should all be able to enjoy it to the fullest.

My approach to therapy is empathetic and gentle, yet practical and straightforward. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, which is the most widely used evidence-based practice. I partner with my clients to challenge their thoughts, ideas, and behaviors with the goal of facilitating real, lasting change and to achieve personal growth. Some of my specialties include anxiety, depression, substance abuse, coping skills, military family issues, marriage and family counseling.

Change is inevitable, and with it emerges multiple experiences that shape your course as you transition through life. But know this, you have a choice in who is writing your story and what it says to you and those around you. I am Latisha Wilson and I find that it takes a bold and courageous person to ask for help. Let me take this time to welcome and congratulate you on taking the first step towards taking control of your life. You may be facing internal struggles, dysfunctional relationships, unhealthy thoughts, anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, or misleading behavioral patterns.

Change can be hard and confusing. With guidance and support, you can find healing and growth amongst the uncertainty. My hope is that my office is a safe place where my clients feel heard, understood, and comforted while they gain awareness, heal from their past, and create a life they love!
