Christian Therapists in Potomac West, Alexandria, VA
I am Dr. Latoya Gassaway-White, and I have my LPC. I have been practicing CBT and solution-focused mostly, but I have experience with psychodynamic and family therapy approaches. I believe that clients dictate which type of therapy to approach and that it is best when a client leads the way. Together we create realistic and attainable goals, and then I help my clients tackle and achieve those goals. I work primarily with clients with anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

Hello, I am thrilled you are “visiting with me” today. It is an understatement to say, “I love being a therapist.” It took ten years of education to earn the privilege of sitting before my clients. Being a therapist is my life's work and my passion. I am very aware of my great responsibility as a therapist for my clients. Over the years, I am always awed and inspired by the resilience of those who have shared their story with me. My path to becoming a therapist many years ago fulfills me every day. I can't describe with words the feeling of pride that I feel when it's the last day of a successful treatment, ending with my client(s).

I specialize in substance use and general mental health treatment of those ages 13-99 years old.
