02 · In Latoya's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I'm a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and relationships. With six years of clinical experience, I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and family conflicts. I'm passionate about helping people rebuild self-esteem, process life changes, and discover their authentic sense of purpose.
My therapeutic approach centers on fostering self-love, improving communication, and addressing deep feelings of guilt, shame, and abandonment. I specialize in supporting clients through divorce and separation, control issues, and the complex dynamics of narcissistic relationships. I also have experience working with women's issues and military and veteran populations.
I believe in the power of forgiveness-both toward others and ourselves-as a pathway to healing. My practice is grounded in cultural responsiveness and affirming care that honors your identity, values, and lived experience. I create a space where you feel seen, respected, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.
If you're seeking a therapist who understands your unique perspective and is committed to walking alongside you with authenticity and care, I'm here to help. Taking this step takes courage, and I'm honored to support your journey.

03 · What happens next
Latoya practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Latoya's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Latoya at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Latoya is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Latoya.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
