Counseling is about working together in a nonjudgmental and caring environment to meet your goals, bring balance back into your life, and help you harness your own abilities in the healing process. I believe in empowering you to lead and guide your own personal growth within an accepting and trusting counseling relationship. I understand that every person is an individual, with specific emotional issues, life views and wants. I focus on how you are experiencing life in the present moment and what we can do together to provide self exploration, self understanding, and an avenue of balance along your life path.

Hi, I’m LaDetra, a licensed professional counselor associate and personal development coach with over a decade of experience in education. My studies in psychology and counseling sparked my interest in therapy.

Since the days of pigtails, I’ve been pulled by this strong force to access wisdom and connect with something higher than this tangible world.

I was trained in counseling at University of North Texas, receiving my Masters in Education. My favorite courses were transpersonal counseling and stress reduction through movement.

I have an eclectic approach, understanding that each person is different, and has specific needs. I exercise an empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental listening.
