I feel like a big part of the apprehension of starting therapy is understanding that it might take a while to find the right therapist. However, I’m so grateful I was matched with Latoya. I’m super excited to start this journey with someone who is someone close enough to my demographic to understand what I’m talking about and get my references, while also being far enough to offer a new perspective and provide me with opportunities to think about situations differently.
Thanks Latoya!!

LaToya has been amazing during a very difficult time in my life and has helped me rediscover myself as well as recognize destructive patterns so I don’t make the same mistakes again. I feel confident with the tools I have learned to set and maintain my boundaries in order to keep myself happy and healthy.
