LCSW, 2 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi there, I'm Ladonna, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker supporting clients in Virginia and Maryland. I have experience providing crisis intervention for a crisis line and providing psychotherapy services to children, adults, and families in private practice, schools, nonprofit outpatient clinics, and a local government agency. I meet my clients where they are at using an eclectic approach, pulling from multiple evidence-based therapy practices.
In your first session with me, you can expect to share your history. I want to hear your story and the symptoms you are experiencing, as well as your expectations of therapy, and the goals you would like to accomplish during your time in therapy. You will leave the session feeling heard and ready to take the necessary steps for healing.
When working with my clients, I ensure I create a space where they feel comfortable sharing their deepest thoughts and concerns. I take a person-centered approach, empowering clients to understand their experiences, obtain a greater self-awareness, and foster resilience.
I have professional experience working with adults, adolescents, and children with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal ideation, self-esteem, relationship issues, and stress who are looking to find helpful strategies to cope and make a meaningful change in their life.
I have training in TF-CBT and use structured tools to help clients process traumatic experiences and reduce the long-lasting effects of trauma.
I incorporate techniques from multiple therapy modalities, tailored to the client's specific needs.
