EMDR uses eye movements and other forms of physical tapping and Bi-Lateral stimulation to help the brain process old stuck memories and trauma. Not just for Big Trauma's like car accidents, it can help with many issues from the past, present and perceived future concerns including PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety and more specific issues such as religious abuse, shame, guilt and pain management.

Greetings! I’m Letitia, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Georgia, and also licensed to provide therapy in Colorado and Florida. I’m passionate about helping clients discover their purpose, break through barriers that hold them back, and begin living the life they’ve always imagined.

I also work with clients coping with grief, relationship challenges, and substance use concerns, as well as those seeking clarity in college, career, and personal growth.

Clients can expect a warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative environment where we’ll uncover strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop practical tools for emotional balance and growth. Together, we’ll create a path toward a more confident, fulfilled, and purpose-driven life.

Change is hard, but when it’s needed, you feel it. Marital strain, career dissatisfaction, or lingering pain from the past can leave you feeling stuck, even when you know something has to shift. Taking those first steps toward change can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to gain clarity, process emotions, and reconnect with your sense of purpose. Healing becomes possible when you have an empathetic and attuned witness to your story; someone who helps you uncover insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and find new ways forward.

I strive to create a safe, supportive space for healing and processing life’s challenges.

I’m a licensed therapist who strives to see families and parents learn new ways, techniques and strategies on how to cope with real life changes and see individuals learn about themselves and begin to process life challenges. I enjoy the traditional Florida lifestyle of exploring nature, the springs, the beaches and all the hiking trails and state parks Florida offers.

As someone who has personally benefited from counseling, I understand firsthand how transformative it can be, even for those who may be skeptical. I’ve spent years supporting individuals, families, and groups on their journey to wellness, helping them uncover their unique strengths and develop personalized plans for success. I’m a self-proclaimed resource junkie, continuously seeking ways to provide valuable tools and insights that empower others. I specialize in working with teenagers, older adults, individuals with disabilities, and anyone who simply needs a compassionate listener. I’m passionate about how counseling and improving mental health can strengthen our community as a whole. Additionally, my experience extends into vocational rehabilitation and Social Security disability benefits counseling, allowing me to offer comprehensive support tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll work towards achieving your goals and fostering growth.

I have been a social worker for over 10 years. I graduated from Boston College and am an LICSW in Massachusetts. I am licensed in other states as well, and I have several years of experience in crisis counseling and helping people manage anxiety and depression. I specialize in short-term counseling by utilizing Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe healing happens with meaningful connections- both within ourselves and with others. My approach is grounded in empathy, openness, authenticity, and collaboration, creating a supportive environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences and challenges. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's transitions, build resilience, and develop the tools needed to foster lasting growth and well-being. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward with confidence and purpose.

I approach mental wellness as a spectrum of being that will regularly ebb and flow for all people. We all have "good" days and "not so good" days; we all need someone to talk to and to listen to us when days are harder, and we all need a compassionate voice to tell us that we can work through this. Menatl health work is manageable when it is education and information based, which helps us to make our problems seem more manageable. I like to help my clients feel comfortable about talking through their thoughts and obstacles, and finding real, simple solutions to problems. I have worked with people of all ages; my youngest client was 3 years old, and my oldest client was 84; I am proud to say that I can adjust to meet clients' needs. This is due to my ability to listen and to collaborate actively with clients to help them have a say in their care and healing.

My clients include adults, adolescents, couples, veterans, and military families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I bring together CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and clinical hypnotherapy — not as a rigid formula, but as a flexible toolkit I adapt to what you actually need. I offer telehealth therapy across Florida, so getting support is straightforward, wherever you are.

I am committed to supporting you throughout your healing journey by providing a safe place that is non-judgmental, encouraging, and supportive as you navigate through the difficult moments of your life.
