I am so grateful to have found her she helps me tremendously. She has helped me discover things about myself and set realistic goals. It always feels comfortable when I'm speaking to her like she truly understands me.

I'm really excited to continue seeing Latonya. She's very kind, genuine, and hilarious. I haven't met a therapist yet who I felt so comfortable with right away, so meeting with her was such a blessing. It's amazing to know my prayers have been answered in finding someone who can truly help me.
