Do you struggle with making real changes in your relationships? Are you easily triggered into emotional distress due to past events? Have you repeatedly “tried harder” to change yourself? Do you wish that you could stop being so hard on yourself and others? Do you struggle with addiction or a loved one's addiction? Do you have symptoms of PTSD? After trying so hard to make changes, we may begin to doubt if change is possible. Reaching out for help can be hard and takes tremendous courage. But making lasting changes is not easy, and few people can do it alone.

If you are here, it's likely something has happened that is straining your ability to cope. Maybe a dumpster fire has planted itself firmly in your life or a trauma has you feeling stuck, scared, and hopeless. Possibly, that critical voice that tells you that you're not enough has shoved you over the line and you're fed up with it pushing you around. Maybe the "what ifs", anxiety, and stress are getting the best of you today. It also could be another life circumstance that has us connecting. Whatever the cause, I am someone who will walk with you through it and to the other side. I would like to share my hope with you and for you.

I specialize with LGBTQIA+ populations of all ages as well as anyone who has experienced religious trauma, codependency issues, attachment wounds, and shame-based living.

Sessions are supportive, non-judgmental, and individualized for your needs and comfort level. We frequently use interventions like role plays, mindfulness exercises, and creative expressive directives to explore the connections between your mind, body, & emotions.

Do you feel weighed down by stress, your past, negative thoughts, and unhealthy patterns? Have your relationships with others and yourself suffered? Are you ready to reconnect, gain confidence, and start truly living? I know personally how impactful trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and stress can be and am passionate about helping you process and cope with these concerns. It is often easy to put our own well-being on the backburner due to family, work, and other responsibilities. You deserve an open, comfortable, and non-judgmental space in which you can take time to fully focus on yourself and invest in your wellness.

You keep telling yourself things will get better soon, but deep down you feel so exhausted from trying to make things work that you aren’t sure you can muster up the energy to get through the day. Talking to friends leaves you feeling lonely and inadequate; it seems they have it all together. How could they understand? The negative thoughts about not being good enough prevent you from truly enjoying your life, friends, and family. You keep hoping for a deeper connection-to be understood, and to feel like yourself again, but you just don’t know where to begin.

Are you interested in reaching your full potential and seeking solutions for a better tomorrow? With the use of EMDR, you can neutralize the past, eradicate unwanted symptoms such as anxiety and depression, increase self-esteem, and create the life you want. For the last fifteen years, I have successfully shifted clients who reported not feeling a benefit with traditional talk therapy. I am progressive in the therapy approaches I utilize and am partial to modalities that are evidence-based and well researched, such as EMDR, Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM), & Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).

You wake up with your daily “to do list” flooding your mind. Your days are spent caring for everyone else or trying to keep up with your responsibilities. There is no time for yourself. Feeling burnt out, you are no longer content with the life you once held as your dream. Every day feels draining and mundane. Anxiety overwhelms you as you keep up with life's demands. You wonder if there is a way to find joy in the things you once loved. You push through each day not feeling well, unfocused, and irritable; all the while wanting to feel fulfilled in the life you are creating.

I firmly believe that everyone can find value in therapy. You have the power to heal from past wounds and repair strained relationships. Together, we can cultivate the skills needed to navigate life's hurdles and establish fulfilling goals for your future. I'm Latonya Hamilton, a licensed clinical social worker with over two decades of experience empowering individuals, couples, and families to embark on a journey towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
