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.
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.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used CBT for several years with success. We teach client how their thinking is linked to feelings and how our feelings are linked to behaviors.

No matter the issue or dynamic, Lawanda makes me think until we have a solution! I love how she makes me think deeper to get to the root of my problems. I always feel empowered after each session. Life has been really tough and she has been my shining light through all of my darkness. I am grateful to have found a therapist that works for me. I call her my “counselor friend” when I speak about her. And I encourage everyone to find their “Lawanda” so the world can be a happier place.

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.
