Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

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.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

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.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

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.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have over 20 years of experience using CBT. Focusing on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve mental health and overall well-being. I have developed a line of journals that I enjoy using to help support the clients on their therapy journey and it typically translates to having tools and skills that individuals are able to use in their overall life goals and other pursuits.

Motivational Interviewing

I have over 20 years of experience using MI as a counseling approach to help individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about behavior change. Using this approach aims to evoke motivation form within ones self and guide them towards making positive changes. I have developed a line of journals that I enjoy using to help support the clients on their therapy journey and it typically translates to having tools and skills that individuals are able to use in their overall life goals and other pursuits.

Reality Therapy

I have over 20 years of experience using Reality Therapy as a therapeutic approach to help individuals take responsibility for their choices and actions in the present moment, with a strong emphasis on meeting basic needs for love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. I have developed a line of journals that I enjoy using to help support the clients on their therapy journey and it typically translates to having tools and skills that individuals are able to use in their overall life goals and other pursuits.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I have over 20 years of experience using Solution Focused Brief Therapy as a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that focuses on exploring clients' strengths and resources to create solutions rather than dwelling on problems. I have developed a line of journals that I enjoy using to help support the clients on their therapy journey and it typically translates to having tools and skills that individuals are able to use in their overall life goals and other pursuits.

Dr. Latasha is amazing! I can already tell after one session that she's exactly the kind of therapist I've been looking for! She listens to every word you say and responds in a way that just makes sense. She's intelligent, funny, and I have a feeling she'll definitely keep me on track of my goals!

I was made very comfortable in the session with her for my first visit and which I think that she's a therapist for me. I was concerned and uncertain on on how I'd feel about her but I'm very comfortable and she made me welcome
