Hi, I am a compassionate Counselor with knowledge and experience necessary to help you unpack pain, heal and become healthy. I will help you understand how trauma affects emotions, thoughts and behavior. I have experience providing individual, family, and couples therapy. I teach healthy coping skills and assist clients with identifying triggers and symptoms of depression and anxiety. Along with identifying the triggers and symptoms I teach relaxation and mindfulness techniques to help clients reduce depressed mood and negative thinking. I help clients with mood disorders learn to manage symptoms due to life stressors and unresolved trauma.
In our first session we will begin to build a therapeutic relationship. We will identify your needs and set up a plan for you to achieve your treatment goals and scheduled ongoing sessions.
As my client you will benefit from my ability to actively listen, meet you where you are and provide you with unconditional positive regard.
My dream clients are individuals who understand that there is not a trick to therapy, and the Therapist does not have a cure. My dream client must understand that identify their need for therapy is the first step. They will need to understand that the work will be challenging. They will need to be open and ready to do the work.

My first session with LaSonna was excellent. She is warm and authentic, easy to talk to, as well as direct and challenging in a good way.
