I also welcome faith discussion and provide Christian counseling.
I work with women who are struggling with anxiety amidst life transitions and feeling a bit like they have lost themselves. Break-ups, job transitions, graduations, moving out, retiring from athletics. They feel stuck, destabilized, and unsure of who they are now. Perhaps they didn’t know who they were before either. Sometimes these transitions can bring up problems with relationships, friendships, their family, their identity, spiritual issues, eating issues, and grief. They tend to be people-pleasers, have high expectations, and feel like they are not good enough.

I'm LaKeina Ferguson you can call me Keina. My approach to therapy is client centered meaning you're in charge. My areas of practice are substance abuse, depression, anxiety and for those who are suffering from low self-esteem and self-worth. I have a whole being philosophy because I truly believe that we have to take care of all of ourselves (mental, emotional, physical and spiritual) if we want to be completely whole. I typically work with clients who experience trauma as children and adults, domestic violence victims and perpetrators, substance abuse, Christian counseling, Bipolar disorders, depressive and anxiety disorders.

I welcome discussions of spirituality or Christian counseling as a part of therapy.
I work with women and highly sensitive people who are struggling with anxiety and want to understand how their family and upbringing have affected them so that they can grow out of those patterns. Sometimes this can be setting better boundaries, creating closer relationships, or receiving brainspotting to heal from childhood attachment trauma/emotional neglect. I also provide animal-assisted therapy with my canine partner, Emi. She is a highly sensitive dog who struggles with anxiety as well, but she loves people and enjoys helping clients feel happy and safe.

Here, you don’t have to face life’s challenges and uncertainties alone. Together, we’ll explore the roots of interpersonal, marital, and parenting issues, gradually uncovering your authentic self—clarifying which traits, beliefs, thought patterns, and behaviors have formed unconsciously over time. If you’re dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or somatic symptoms, I warmly invite you to begin this journey of self-exploration. My approach delves into the core of trauma, helping you identify and gently deconstruct beliefs and fears you may not yet fully recognize. I’m here to support you in building genuine self-awareness.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Do you long for a greater sense of well-being and/or fulfillment in life? When our needs are unmet or injured, it can result in distorted thinking and ineffective behaviors. We may feel unable to move past anxiety, depression, grief, fear, despair, anger, or trauma, and move into self-protection, isolation, or avoidance in order to cope. By creating a nurturing, nonjudgmental environment where it's safe to express feelings and emotions, I believe that we will identify root issues and move beyond coping to restoration. Contact me for a FREE 15-minute phone consultation!

Harmony. When you think of harmony, one might picture different things coming together that work so well simultaneously and you feel a sense of peace. When things aren’t working well together, there is a clash or dissonance, causing more stress and more problems. I came across a video on Instagram from Nedra Glover Tawwab (nedratawwab) where she talked about the difference between balance and harmony. You see, my ultimate goal in life was to achieve balance when in fact what I was envisioning was harmony. “Harmony is getting things to flow in your life in a cohesive way. Balance is getting everything to be equal."

As a faith-based, trauma-focused therapist, I embrace an eclectic approach, knowing that one size does not fit all. Have you ever felt stuck & alone, as if life didn’t go as planned? Overwhelmed by challenges others don’t understand? Or like your mind and body are out of sync, hiding behind a facade? Frustrated that no one sees you’re not okay? Angry? I combine research-based practices with psychological insights, drawing from psychodynamics, trauma research, emotionally-focused therapy, developmental neuroscience, multicultural perspectives, and more. My approach is to offering you the truth you need, even when it's tough to hear.
