Every conversation with Dr. Latasha leaves me feeling good about myself. She notices and acknowledges the things we wouldn't within our relationships with others and ourselves. I feel a lot of positive vibes from her. She is like a knowledgeable friend. I have seen other therapists before but she is the best one by far. I feel lucky to have her as my therapist.
