About Latoya
Hello, I’m a licensed clinical social worker and PsyD with a specialty in mental health practices. I have over 20 years of diversified experience working with all age groups and demographics.
I tailor my therapy approach based off the assessment of the client and establish the appropriate treatment modality in conjunction with the client. Therapy is to alleviate symptom reduction and to attainable treatment goals. I describe myself as an eclectic therapist, laid back, straightforward with gentle sensitivity based on case circumstances. I want my clients to see a relatable person, I am not a textbook therapist.
It is my passion to work with others in the midst of their crisis to guide them to a safe place for healing and recovering from recurrent patterns of disruptive and dysfunctional behavior.

What clients say
- “I’ve been in therapy on and off for years because I could never find a therapist that listened to me and my past to actually give me tools to reshape my thinking, but I’ve finally found a therapist I want to stay with. My day to day life improved within the first few sessions with Latoya. I wish every therapist was as knowledgeable, validating, and productive as her.”
- “Latoya is great! She has given me great advice so far since I started therapy. She truly has opened my brain to realizations that I never thought about.”

Life is too short to waste with people who are allllmmmmmmmmooooooooost what you need, when it comes to therapy. I am glad I joined this platform and found her because there’s no way we would have encountered each other anywhere else. I really appreciate her insights and how she can really see me even when I’m trying my best to seem okay, she can see how I’m really doing and speak to the part of me that needs someone to witness the struggle. I knew after my first visit that she was the one, definitely recommend working with her and seeing if she’s a good fit for you.”
