Hello! My name is LaTangra. I am a Licensed Mental Health Provider with Addiction, Family Medicine, and Psychiatric Nursing certification. I enjoy helping others meet their fullest potential and teaching others from any age group. I have worked in the mental health profession for over twenty years. I understand that depression, anxiety and other symptoms can stop individuals from meeting their goals without proper intervention. I will meet you where you are and assist you in achieving your fullest potential and dreams one session at a time, using compassion, empathy, and evidence-based practices.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, we will learn a little about each other, talk about perceived barriers and obtain a treatment plan together to meet your needs.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I enjoy using treatment CBT and Mindfulness therapy for the most part. I also use the GAD Scale, PQ9 scale etc to assist in the decision making process to determine if there is a mental health diagnosis and to help confirm a diagnosis.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I can rave about my academic achievements, as there are many. I have spent a lifetime learning, and I learn every day and share what I have learned to help others. My biggest strengths are listening and empathy. One writer stated, "People do not know how much you know until they know how much that you care." I know, and "I care." I also provide Faith based counseling to those who would like to incorporate that into their treatment plan.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have worked in the clinical field for many years. I can work with anyone by meeting them where they are and helping them climb the ladder to where they would like to go.
