I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who earned her Master of Arts in Counseling at Wayland Baptist University. Currently, I am working with a consultant to become an EMDR therapist. I believe that this therapy is beneficial to individuals with trauma-related experiences. I specialize in helping individuals with anxiety, ptsd, anger issues, mood disorders, behavioral issues, self-esteem issues, schizophrenia, and depression. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I help individuals, families, and couples identify goals as well as possible solutions to issues that hinder their growth. I believe that my passion for counseling stemmed from my desire to help people at an early age. I have experience working within the community, inpatient treatment centers, and outpatient treatment centers. I have experience working with children and adolescents with autism as well as other disabilities for over seven years. I enjoy giving back to the community as well as helping others live a successful and rewarding life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session which is the intake session we will get to know each other better. It is important for you to be comfortable with me. My goal is to understand the challenges that you face in your life and your expectations for me.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

When individuals are battling with depression, anxiety, and ptsd I help them to identify their triggers and ways to cope with them. It is very important to be able to change their thinking so that it improves their mental and emotional health. When an individual is suffering from self-esteem issues I work with them to identify the strengths that they have and help them to become self-aware. When my clients have experience with behavioral issues I help them to identify healthy choices and effective coping strategies that meet their situation. When my clients experience changes in their moods I work with them to identify unhealthy thought and behavior patterns. I help them to identify healthy ways to manage the moods that they experience. I help them to be able to function daily by implementing things such as a schedule and physical outlets.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I would like to work with children, adolescents, and adults. I request that I only see children who are at least nine years of age. I don't have any age limitations. I would like to work with individuals who suffer from schizophrenia, ptsd, anger issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, behavioral issues, and grief. Also, I enjoy working with couples and families.

Latrecia is a very good listener. She's very knowledgeable about her profession. She is polite, courteous, kind, compassionate and respectful. She is easy to open up to. I enjoyed our first session. I'm looking forward to more.

Our first session was merely intake. I had to answer a lot of questions, so we didnt have a lot of time discussing my issue. This is why I give a 3 for her.
