More about Latoya
- 6 years' experience

- LCSW
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and relationships. With six years of clinical experience, I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and family conflicts. I'm passionate about helping people rebuild self-esteem, process life changes, and discover their authentic sense of purpose.
My therapeutic approach centers on fostering self-love, improving communication, and addressing deep feelings of guilt, shame, and abandonment. I specialize in supporting clients through divorce and separation, control issues, and the complex dynamics of narcissistic relationships. I also have experience working with women's issues and military and veteran populations.
I believe in the power of forgiveness—both toward others and ourselves—as a pathway to healing. My practice is grounded in cultural responsiveness and affirming care that honors your identity, values, and lived experience. I create a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.
If you're seeking a therapist who understands your unique perspective and is committed to walking alongside you with authenticity and care, I'm here to help. Taking this step takes courage, and I'm honored to support your journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
