Hi! My name is LaPetra Whigham. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 20 yrs of experience working with individuals and families. I'm a highly skilled and compassionate therapist who works with individuals with issues ranging from trauma, depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, emotional eating, psuedoseizures and women issues. I utilizied different therapuetic models to empower clients to make the necessary changes to impove their quality of life.
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions and education. I will also review assessments completed prior to session and gather other information needed for an initial evaluation. We then discuss your specific needs and develop goals. The first session is really for us to start to develop a rapport. My goal is to get to know you as an individual and you get to know me as your therapist.
I have 20 yrs of experience working with individuals from different walks of life. I have a heart for people and passionate in wanting to see others live their best life.
I enjoy working with women who are ready for change but may lack insight on where to start.
