I appreciate how open and respectfully blunt she is! She made the environment feel very safe to talk to her about anything and everything. And gave helpful tools right away to help call me out as a person, and help me to be better. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a quality person, and an ear to listen to/challenge them

LaDawna has been incredible from the very first session. She immediately made me feel comfortable and understood, and her encouragement has been exactly what I needed to open up and dive deeper into my personal growth. Although it's only been a few weeks, the 'homework' she assigns is already making a noticeable difference in my thinking and problem-solving skills. Each session feels like another step toward rediscovering myself, and I genuinely look forward to our time together. I can tell she truly cares about my progress and knows just how to guide me on this journey.

I am extremely appreciative of my sessions with LaDawna. Working with her has assisted me in my self reflection and accountability of my life and actions. I am experiencing more regulation of myself and how I interact with others in the world.
