Hi! I'm a LCMHCS, LPCS, LCAS, CCS based in North Carolina and practicing in NC, SC, GA, TX, AZ, MA, ME, RI, NH and US VI. I received my Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University and two Masters from Webster University in Counseling and Health Administration. I have been practicing for over 20 years and enjoy working with a diverse population of people. I have several areas of expertise and enjoy using them to support my clients in their overall life goals and plans for success.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. Together we will ensure that your goals and issues are addressed as well as we construct a plan that will be sustainable presently and for future concerns.
I having worked with very diverse clients over the past 20 years, I've developed journals to help assist many of my clients with a tried-and-true playbook for helping identify the root cause of challenges and create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with different individuals who are experiencing concerns and have the desire to work through the issues and coming up with better results. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.

When I started to really think about therapy, I knew I was going to need someone direct, challenging and open-minded. So I wanted to make sure I found the right fit. Dr. Latasha is well spoken, humorous and authentic. She allows me to talk out my resolutions and solutions with helpful feedback and gives guidelines to start thinking about different perspectives.
