"The greatest glory in living, lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Welcome, I'm Lacharonda Taylor, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed since 2015, based in California. Congratulations on taking this courageous step towards improving your mental health. With over a decade of experience, I am passionate about assisting individuals in navigating life's challenges, cultivating resilience, and discovering self-empowerment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we'll begin by exploring your goals, concerns, and the reasons that brought you to therapy. Together, we'll discuss your unique experiences and challenges, and I'll take the time to understand your background and what you hope to achieve through our work together. This initial session is an opportunity for us to establish rapport, discuss confidentiality and the therapeutic process, and outline a personalized plan that aligns with your needs and aspirations. Your comfort and trust are paramount, and I'm here to ensure that our collaboration is both meaningful and supportive as we embark on this journey towards your well-being and personal growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have experience working across multiple settings, including children and families, foster youth, juvenile justice, corrections, psychiatric inpatient, and outpatient mental health. Through empathy, active listening, and evidence-based interventions, I am dedicated to helping you navigate life's difficulties, manage stress, build resilience, and cultivate empowerment. I incorporate a strengths-based approach, meeting you where you are and empowering you to identify and apply your strengths to achieve your goals.
