I’m Dr. LaTia Greer, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and trauma specialist with over 25 years of experience in mental health and wellness. At Authentic Heart Behavioral Health & Wellness, I provide a safe, compassionate space for clients to heal, grow, and reclaim their sense of balance. My work is deeply rooted in the belief that you don’t have to face life’s struggles alone—healing becomes possible when you feel seen, heard, and supported. I specialize in helping individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as those who feel overwhelmed by the challenge of setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck in cycles of stress, guilt, or self-doubt. Together, we explore what’s underneath those struggles and build practical, evidence-based strategies to create real change. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed practices, mindfulness, and integrative therapy to fit your unique needs. That means we’ll not only focus on symptom relief but also on deeper emotional healing—supporting you in reconnecting with yourself and building resilience for the future. Clients often tell me that therapy with me feels like a balance of gentle guidance and real-world tools they can apply right away. I’ll meet you where you are, whether you’re seeking relief from constant worry, working through past pain, or learning to say “yes” to yourself without guilt. Most importantly, my goal is to help you move from simply surviving to living with greater confidence, clarity, and peace. Healing is a journey, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Hi! I'm Sharonda, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). Growing up in Chicago, I regularly witnessed individuals with mental health difficulties, addiction issues, individuals impacted by trauma, and those who were victims of violence. Many of them did not have guidance on how to heal or could not access helpful resources/supports. Because of that, I set my goal to be a valuable resource and advocate for anyone who may need guidance or support through their struggles. I have approximately 10 years of experience working in various mental health settings including; a substance abuse rehabilitation center; outpatient therapy facilities; within the juvenile detention center; with DCFS involved youth; Juvenile Trauma programs; and with Community Violence Intervention programs.

In my experience as a counselor, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals in various settings. I have worked with children and adults in the community, residential, hospital, and educational settings. In each environment I have witnessed the marvel of human potential firsthand. As a clinician I approach people and the work that I do from the belief that people have the innate ability to grow and heal on their own. My personal life experience and my practice have fostered this belief, recognizing that the process may require or be made more manageable with some assistance or a guide, in the form of counseling. Through my experiences I have witnessed the benefits of the human components that aid in the healing process of psychological symptoms that create difficulty in moving toward fulfillment and full integration of the human experience in the lives of many. The therapeutic relationship, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard are components that for me represent the core of therapy. These components create an experience in which someone can safely explore themselves, their experiences, the world around them, and identify solutions to ailments and the "true self" that is often altered by the world around us.
