Hi my name is Dr. Louvenia Lawson. Do you feel like you don't know where to start? Do you feel like you're not sure if you need therapy? Do you feel totally stuck? Needing therapy doesn't mean you're “crazy” ... You're stronger than you think. ... Things can get better. ... But your therapist can't “fix” you. ... No topic is off limits. ... Therapists are trying too. ... No, your therapist is really not judging you. My approach is a little different to other mental health practices, because I see myself as being partners in this process. I’ll help you identify your goals and support you through this journey to uncover a more fulfilling life. I use a person-centered approach which caters towards individual. I specialize in depression, trauma, and life issues. My goal is to serve my community and individuals who want to change family patterns of being stuck. I enjoy helping individuals and families grow as a unit. I also specialize in Christian Counseling. Let's take this journey together to go and grow!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I offer individual and family therapy for adults, children and couples providing hybrid services. Expectations in therapy is to offer tools and techniques for navigating your thoughts, feelings, emotions, experiences and relationships. The goal is to support and guide you through challenges and barriers in your life and help change your thinking or thought process to healthier thinking.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am constantly in training mode. There are times when I have to adapt to my client to address there needs. I think it is important to have an open mindset when addressing individuals. There is no one size fit all in therapy. There can be a combination of issues that need to be addressed which require the use of different tactics. I also pride myself on being able to adapt to different situations because everyone learns differently.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I specialize in trauma (emotional, physical and sexual, etc). I treat individuals who experience and survive traumatic incidents. This therapy is designed to manage the impact of traumatic events on people's lives. It also helps people process traumatic events and the lasting experience of trauma that may follow those events.
