Child Therapists in 85298
Lawana is the mother of 6 children: 4 very busy boys and 2 amazing daughters, with an amazing granddaughter.
I strongly believe in the importance of the family. Each individual is important in the family system and brings a different dynamic into it. I enjoy working with individuals and families: both parent/child and sibling relationships. While I am most passionate about working with individuals suffering with trauma/PTSD, anxiety/depression, the family relationship needs support as well, particularly with challenging children. Sometimes an outside perspective can help us see things differently. Challenges in a family are guaranteed, but with some encouragement and support, we can become stronger through those challenges.

Are you feeling lost or disconnected in your relationship? Communication problems, trust issues from infidelity, constant arguing, or emotional distance can make any relationship feel tough. Many couples face these challenges, but the usual therapy options can sometimes feel too clinical or impersonal. Imagine creating a partnership where you feel safe, connected, and truly understood. Therapy should help you reconnect, rediscover your love, and improve every aspect of your relationship, from intimacy to managing finances, parenting, and more.

One of my mantras as a helping professional is to meet my clients where they are. The process of therapy is not one-size-fits-all; it is multifaceted and diverse, just like the world in which we live. Therefore, I strive to ensure that each client’s uniqueness feels both welcomed and honored in the space we share, and that the work undertaken in this space caters to their individual strengths, experiences, and challenges.

I believe people are courageous to face their individual and relationship challenges. People are amazingly resilient and capable of healing, growth and change. I believe my role as a therapist is to collaborate with my clients toward a more desirable future and provide a safe, non-judgmental, supportive environment that nurtures growth and healing. We are all a part of a greater whole and are influenced by others, including our family of origin, current relationships, society and culture; therefore, I approach therapy from an integrative holistic perspective.

I strive to balance validation and empathy with a directive approach that offers concrete tools and strategies.
