Hi, I'm Latoya, a Clinical Social Worker, Drug & Alcohol Counselor, and Certified Trauma Specialist. T.Y.P stands for Trust Your Process—because healing isn't linear, and your path is uniquely yours.
At T.Y.P Therapy, we specialize in working with teens and adults ages 16+ who are navigating life transitions, generational trauma, identity exploration, or struggling with anxiety, depression, and substance use. I focus on empowering individuals, especially those from Caribbean backgrounds, to break mental health stigma, build emotional resilience, and embrace their full selves..
I believe therapy should feel collaborative, not prescriptive. You are the expert on your life, and I am here to support you in discovering your inner strengths, healing at your own pace, and learning how to live with clarity and confidence.
With over a decade of experience, I use a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach.
I draw from CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, & person-centered techniques to support the whole person—emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually. Whether you're feeling stuck, misunderstood, or just need someone who gets it, I am here to help you move forward.
Let’s build a space where you can feel safe, seen, and supported on your terms.
