Feeling better is no longer a mystery. This is fantastic news! We no longer need to be stuck in negative mood states, feel paralyzing levels of anxiety & debilitating emotional/physical pain. Instead, our brain can be transformed when the right combination of therapy skills and techniques are utilized. My 15 years of extensive training as a psychologist has uniquely equipped me with the ability to apply integrative and evidenced-based interventions to achieve maximum results. I blend compassion focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral methods, eastern practices and cutting-edge neuroscience to help you rewire the brain for a healthier you! There is hope!

Healing is a circular & cyclical journey with many paths, choices, & discoveries. We meet you where you are today, acknowledge that you are ever-changing, ever evolving. We know how hard it is to ask for help…to embrace, hold, and make space for change…we know how challenging it is to have a dissolution of self, or a version of yourself that no longer fits. Together, we uncover & compost outdated & stifling beliefs, unrealistic expectations or goals, let go of worries & fears, discover self-sabotage, burrow through behaviors & deeply hidden feelings & emotions that keep us stuck, fearful, unable to step into empowered selves.

"When life brings challenges that exceed your ability to cope, it might be the time to consider working with a competent, respectful, and understanding therapist. I believe in living life to the fullest extent possible, and sometimes that means peering into your past to understand how the solutions of yesterday transform to the problems of today. Whether your issue is substance abuse, unhealthy expression of anger, depression, anxiety, self esteem/body imagine or difficult relationships with others; counseling can be your first step towards a healthy way of living. Make that first step in your journey towards wellness.

Hi, I'm LaTasha Unseld!

There is always hope, no matter the situation you may find yourself in. Whether it's a difficult relationship, repetitive negative thoughts, teen issues, or feelings of depression leading you to dark places. Situations change when we learn new skills, understand how the past influences the present, or when we have a safe place to explore options.

I believe that even the littlest of moments can be deeply meaningful, that mistakes are sometimes the best way to learn, and that we have the power to create our own destinies. It is my belief that change happens at the level of movement, making therapy an active, conscious process. As a therapist, I view my role as that of a co-pilot. Together, we will navigate your therapeutic journey in a way that is empowering and right for you. I specialize in school-aged children/teens, emotional and behavioral disorders, LGBTQ youth, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder.

Accepting NEW Clients: You gaze in the mirror and the person looking back at you is not person you expected to see. You have given up practically everything for everybody else. You keep saying yes to others, and you constantly say no to yourself and your own needs. You feel you can’t do it anymore. You cry for help, but nobody bothers to listen. You feel like even those you used to be closest to do not understand what you are going through. You fell down into a dark hole, and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to climb out of it. You are not exactly sure when it happened or how it happened, but you somehow lost yourself.

Misconception: You only see a counselor when having a full blown crisis. Truth: Daily stress, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, anger, and worry are exhausting. Misconception: You're stuck with no options. Truth: You have the ability to make important changes in your life. Misconception: Everyone should be happy everyday or something is wrong. Truth: Adversity and failure is universal. Without it, we wouldn't recognize happiness. Misconception: It seems like everyone has a better life than me, more exciting, more amazing...more everything. Truth: Not likely.

We all go through periods when we could use extra support to get back on track. In therapy, I help folks connect and listen to their inner voice, make important decisions, and better align with their values. Part relational, part neuroscience, my approach integrates multiple perspectives to reach those who might be skeptical about therapy but are seeking change in their life. My ability to put others at ease, make them feel comfortable, and even laugh is unique! Whether you’re coming to therapy to work on a specific goal or learn more about yourself, we will customize your treatment plan to help you get where you’re going.
