About me

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Georgia. I received my Masters from Mercer University in Atlanta and have been practicing for several years. I help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stressors, family conflicts, and those who may be in transition, ie divorce, retirement, empty nesters, new parents, grief, medication management, or career changes.

Get to know me

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

Client's will be allowed to give a narrative and history of their life experiences. We will then work together to create a treatment plan to address the main issues causing stress.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is to meet people where they are emotionally and provide a safe space for clients to be authentic. I have developed a plan that allows clients to share without feeling judged or critiqued.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with people who are in transition. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their life and making new decisions.

I am impressed after only one session with LaWanda. She was genuine, listened to me, and was empowering. She "heard what I did not say" and helped me to recognize a thought versus what is true. I am excited to become a better version of myself with the guidance of LaWanda.

She allows me the space to be open and honest. I feel safe. I feel heard. I’m not judged. She challenges me to be better because she truly wants the best for me. That is very important to me. It’s not easy but I’m worth it.

Ms. LaWanda is always so great during our sessions. I truly feel like she is on my side when it comes to my overall growth. It's not always advice that I WANT to hear, but it will always be something I NEED to hear. I'm so grateful and appreciative to have met her and I can't wait to continue that.
