Hi, I’m Larthenia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida, and a LMFTA in Washington State. I work with individuals, couples, and families who have ongoing challenges connecting in relationships, and who experience depression, anxiety, or/and ADHD. I’m no different from the clients I see. I’ve been through wonderful and difficult experiences that have shaped who I am. Therapy helped to put my life back in order, and my own growth through personal life struggles is what helps me relate so deeply with clients. I enjoy guiding people toward positive changes and witnessing them achieve more fulfilling lives.

As a Certified Neurofeedback Clinician, I help clients who experience PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, behavior disruptions, sleep disorders, migraines, and trauma. I am trained in Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution Focused Therapy, and certified as Clinical ADHD Coach.

Healing and growth are possible for everyone. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, mental health dysregulation, or relationship challenges, I am here to support you on your journey. Contact me today to learn more about my services and how I can help you chart a course towards optimal well-being.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)

I integrate a brain-based approach to counseling. Early sessions prioritize trust-building, exploring emotions, relationships, thought patterns, and setting goals. Clients can expect to learn about the brain's role in emotions and how this influences decision making. Personalized exercises from diverse therapeutic approaches set the stage for mental and relational well-being.
