LCSW, 25 years of experience
Hi, I'm Lathosha Alexander, MSW, LCSW, CPC a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience in social work and more than 24 years as a practicing psychotherapist. I am the founder of Healthy Minds Healthy Hearts Therapeutic Services and The Healing Lab SheVisioned, a wellness and empowerment community for women. A proud Barry University graduate, I offer individual, couples, family, and group therapy to those seeking healing, clarity, and emotional resilience. My work is rooted in a deep commitment to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with confidence and compassion. I am a Certified Nurturing Parenting Specialist and a Certified Professional Life Coach, with a special focus on supporting women healing from trauma, reconnecting with their inner strength, and building balanced, fulfilling lives. My diverse background includes roles in juvenile justice, child welfare, behavioral health, community mental health, and private practice. I have served as a psychotherapist, family coordinator, case manager, parenting specialist, clinical trainer, program supervisor, and group facilitator. My approach is trauma informed, culturally sensitive, and grounded in building genuine therapeutic relationships that foster trust, healing, and growth. My Private Practice is based in Miramar, Florida, where I provide therapy in a safe, supportive environment where teens, adults, and families can feel heard and empowered. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, anger, family conflict, relationship issues, and self-esteem challenges. As a mental health advocate, I’m committed to “Breaking the Stigma” surrounding mental illness. I’ve appeared as a therapist and expert witness on various TV networks, featured in the Black mental health documentary HUSH, and collaborate with Taraji P. Henson’s Boris L. Henson Foundation to support mental wellness in underserved communities. Helping others heal and thrive isn’t just my profession.. it’s my purpose!
I begin with an introductory session where you’ll have the space to share your story, who you are, and what you hope to achieve in therapy. It’s important to me that you feel respected, supported, and truly heard throughout our work together. We’ll explore your goals collaboratively and create a plan tailored to your needs. From there, our ongoing sessions will focus on making those goals a reality through thoughtful, consistent work Each person’s story is unique, and I believe in offering care that is tailored to honor your individuality. As we work together, we’ll focus on your mental health journey, helping you navigate healing and growth. I offer a warm, supportive, and therapeutic environment, where you can feel safe, comfortable, and open as we explore your experiences. Life’s journey is filled with ups, downs, and unexpected turns, and while I believe in everyone’s capacity to heal, I also understand that we all need support to find our way. I’m here to guide you through the challenges, and I have full confidence in your ability to overcome them.
What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the genuine connection I build with clients, grounded in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and over 24 years of clinical experience. I take time to understand each person’s unique story and tailor the work to meet their individual needs. My methods integrate evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral techniques, trauma informed care, and strength based approaches while also drawing from my personal and professional insight. Clients often share that they feel seen, heard, and supported in ways they haven't before. I create a safe and nonjudgmental space where people can show up as they are and begin the process of healing. Together, we move beyond just symptom relief we work toward deeper self-understanding, emotional balance, and lasting change.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting youth, adults, and families as they navigate a wide range of life challenges. I draw on my clinical expertise, lived experience, and deep compassion to help clients work through complex situations and find emotional balance. I specialize in helping teenagers and adults overcome struggles with depression, anxiety, anger, family conflict, relationship issues, and low self-esteem with healing always at the heart of our work together.
