Latoya is licensed to see clients in Tennessee & Georgia. I am passionate about helping individuals foster a deeper connection on their path to healing. My goal as a clinician is to encourage and empower my clients to be the best version of themselves. Recognizing there is always room to grow beyond unfortunate circumstances is vital to increasing one's quality of life. I specialize in working with adults, couples, and families with a variety of challenges such as grief, loss & bereavement, adjustment to illness, life & career transitions, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma histories, and ADHD.
I utilize a multidimensional approach to therapy, exploring each individual's biological, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. I desire to come alongside others to assist them in healing from trauma, building self-worth, improving communication in their relationships, and reaching their goals.
I provide a safe environment for my clients to build autonomy, self-esteem, and coping skills that can be implemented into their daily lives. I have an individualistic therapeutic style therefore I offer a combination of treatment modalities to provide insight, growth, self-awareness and behavioral change. If you're ready for a change, please give me a call.
