Hello, my name is La Shekia and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker; also holding a certification in Trauma.
My love for studying behavior and the mind is what led me to the road of psychotherapy. The approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy encompasses the study of how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are intertwined. In addition, when working with trauma there is a lot of cognitive work to address as we work through the layers of our mind that need healing. But even before we get to those layers we must work on body awareness to understand how we respond to various triggers.
Self-care and Wellness are other important areas of focus in my practice as I feel that these dimensions are always an ongoing piece of our lives that are always evolving.
