Personal Approach

LaTonia’s approach is rooted in the belief that every person deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered. She blends multiple therapeutic methods to create a personalized experience tailored to each client's needs. Her work is trauma-informed, client-centered, and guided by compassion.

Somatic techniques help clients reconnect with the wisdom of the body, while expressive therapies—like art and play—offer alternative paths to emotional healing.

By walking alongside clients on their healing journey, LaTonia fosters resilience, insight, and authentic growth.
