Latoya,
LPCC-S (OHIO),Supervisor
LMHC (WASHINGTON STATE)
I believe that each of us have been created to live life on purpose, with purpose, and with meaning. Wellness means giving attention to ourselves physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. During the most difficult times in our lives, we can find deficits in our wellness – in any of the above areas. When we are impaired, our functioning is also impaired. As a counselor, my mission is to work with adults, couples, families, and children during the most difficult times in their lives. I am dedicated to empowering you and your loved ones to find “wholeness.”
My goal is for my clients to live the life they want to live, and I want to empower you to create lasting, positive change within your life. My therapeutic process helps clients understand how to use your own agency to move toward whole-hearted living. Together, we will create strategies for coping and relating to others so you can thrive.
I understand the therapeutic process can seem overwhelming, so I am committed to meeting my clients where they are and building a foundation of genuine trust and respect. Wherever you are in your journey, I want to partner with you to take you to the next level.

Helping an individual find the tools to assist in their healing has always been a passion of mine.
For the past 12 years I’ve worked with pediatric patients in a healthcare system who have been inflicted with trauma; including sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, and being involved in a traumatic accident causing injury to their bodies. As well as, providing crisis counseling to those faced with the death of their child.
For the past 7 years, I’ve worked with birth mothers and prospective adoptive parents going through the adoption process.
Providing support, comfort, and counseling for the stressors that go along with the adoption process. I’ve also devoted 7 years of work to children of divorced parents.
Behavioral and mental health needs are challenges that everyone faces in some aspect of their life. Providing the necessary tools, empowering, and finding strengths along the way to help aid with hope and healing is my goal.

Therapist
Jane Z.
MSW,LMHCA
My bachelor's and master's degrees are in Social Work with a concentration in Children and Families. I relocated from Texas and live in Washington for the past 7 years.
Utilizing 15+ years in social work in more settings than I can count, I want to share my knowledge I have learned in supporting individuals who may be struggling or coping with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, grief, and relationship issues. It’s my core belief that our mental, emotional, and physical well-being rely on our connection with others. It’s because of this belief, that I approach each person with sincerity and authenticity. You will find me to be inviting, friendly and engaging. My style is collaborative. I enjoy helping people find their measure of joy and peace. I especially find gratification in comforting those grieving a loss; this can be a death, a separation or divorce, or even a major life change. Everyone goes through life transitions and I believe that we do not have to go through them alone. Some life transitions change you, but you can decide how it changes you. No one is immune to adversity and trials but we can learn and practice more adaptive coping strategies and ways of processing thoughts and emotions that better serve us. I utilize a myriad of therapeutic approaches that best meet the needs of individuals. This includes solution-focused therapy and cognitive Behavioral therapy. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.

As a licensed social worker with a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Toledo, I bring six years of valuable experience assisting children, adolescents, and families in managing and overcoming mental health issues. My expertise particularly centers on aiding young individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Through engagements in diverse educational settings and the criminal justice domain, I approach therapy through a comprehensive lens to offer multifaceted support.
During my leisure time, I enjoy hiking with my partner and our four dachshunds or cozying up on the couch with my three cats, accompanied by our canine companions while indulging in a thrilling movie.
Therapist
Courtney S.
MSW, LSW
Therapist
I am passionate about supporting individuals, families, and groups in navigating life’s many challenges surrounding stress and trauma reactions. I seek to understand each client, with a perspective strongly rooted in ecological systems theory. All too often we assume responsibility for our hardships and challenges, perhaps even tending to blame ourselves. To fully understand ourselves, it is beneficial to identify parts of us that interact and interdepend on physical, social, and cultural systems. I heavily utilize a person-centered approach, relying on the content provided by the expert of yourself, you.
I look to hold an open and affirming space that honors each person, family, and group member. I have an integrative approach to therapy, bringing in various theories, perspectives, and modalities. Some of the therapeutic modalities I use include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
Much of my experience has been influenced from my background as an emergency responder. I was a wildland firefighter for nearly a decade. I am passionate about the outdoors and enjoy finding ways to incorporate the landscape into the therapeutic experience, with an emphasis in grounding and mindfulness.
