My name is Lashaunta Hogan. You just made the first step, Congratulations! The initial step in asking for help can sometimes be the hardest to make. Reading this is that step. Life can be overwhelming and when those times occur, it helps to have someone trained and unbiased to help navigate those situations. Choosing someone to help traverse transitional life circumstances, choosing new life directions, or just having someone to work through normal everyday life, is one of the most important choices you can ever make. You should never feel embarrassed or judged to ask for help. I hope that I can be that person for you.

I have provided counseling services in several different settings since 1996. I began my career as an Elementary School Counselor, I have worked as a Family Counselor in an addictions program, and as a Child and Adolescent Counselor in a community mental health center.

Are you striving to live more abundantly, perform at your highest level, and better understand your relationships, emotions, and physical well-being? If so, you are an ideal client for my practice.

As a Christian, my faith offers a strong compass for all I do. As a clinical psychologist, school psychologist, and veteran with 6 degrees in psychology and 27 years of experience (20 with Gwinnett County Public Schools), this compass has been pivotal in helping others. I specialize in two areas: (1) Psychological or "psycho-educational" evaluations to enhance success in school, college, or career path; and (2) A highly specialized therapy-based martial arts program for children that decades of closely supervised research have found effective for improving attention, self-control, and classroom performance (see "Groups" below).

Here is where my passion, Christian and evidence-based counseling skills and modalities connect with multi-cultural individuals, couples, teens, young adults and families to help them view their issues and life goals from a different perspective.

We all struggle at times, but you don't have to do it alone. When life brings tests and trials, we may need some extra support and clarity. Whether or not you have received counseling before, it takes awareness and courage to reach out for professional help. I can assist you with discovering and building upon your own inner strengths and resources.
