Hi my name is Dr. Louvenia Lawson. Do you feel like you don't know where to start? Do you feel like you're not sure if you need therapy? Do you feel totally stuck? Needing therapy doesn't mean you're “crazy”. You're stronger than you think. Things can get better. But your therapist can't “fix” you. No topic is off limits. Therapists are trying too. No, your therapist is really not judging you.

My practice primarily focuses on helping people who struggle in relationships. I use attachment theory to identify the type of dysfunction/trauma you adapted to early in life. These adaptations often create dysfunction or dissatisfaction in your relationships as an adult. We focus on how you attach to partners, peers, work, and yourself in ways that reflect your past and work on changing them in the present.

I also specialize in supporting highly sensitive and deeply feeling individuals—helping them understand their inner world, set healthy boundaries, and embrace their emotional depth while building tools for emotional resilience, confidence, and practices for calming the body's stress response.

Life is complicated. Despite our best efforts, there are days where we all feel unhappy, anxious, and inadequate. Some of our struggles are results of our choices, but many of the hardships we face exist as a result of the way our loved ones and life circumstances treat us. Hardship can come in many forms: depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and unhappy relationships. Sadly, life rarely pauses when we are struggling, and we are expected to keep functioning as professionals, parents, partners, and friends. This pressure can sometimes feel suffocating, and it can make an already difficult situation worse.
