I work with children 12-17 and adults. For children who experience struggles, low self-esteem, behavioral challenges, anxiety, etc., I usually work with a child and with the parent. As an adult, when life throws challenges your way, I would be someone who could help sort things out. I love working with autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD children 12-17 and adults, both formally diagnosed and self-diagnosed. I am a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, deeply committed to helping my clients of all ages thrive. I also enjoy helping women through any life issues, such as dating, motherhood, divorce, career changes, becoming an empty-nester, etc.

I specialize in aiding individuals grappling primarily with anxiety disorders, as well as providing support to entrepreneurs striving to expand their businesses, assisting those facing significant life changes, and guiding individuals seeking stress reduction strategies.

Having either been through challenges or currently existing in crisis, my clients want to stop merely surviving and instead begin thriving. They see the way things are, and they are no longer satisfied with it. My clients seek understanding, internal peace, and personal growth. They need help clarifying their goals and identifying the methods by which to achieve them. They want to live a life based on their personal values, uninhibited by mental health challenges or relational struggles.

My ideal client is someone who is higher functioning and has some self-awareness. My ideal client is between the ages of 25-40, struggling with managing emotional distress, and often has issues with relationships in their lives. My ideal client is in a place where they are ready to do the work, even if it's uncomfortable. Their needs are often centered around building confidence, improving emotional regulation, setting boundaries, and building healthy relationships with themselves and others. My clients desire to obtain peace in their lives, even if that means letting go of what no longer serves them.

My practice focuses on providing research-backed treatments to adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety disorders such as OCD and PTSD. I specialize in providing exposure and response prevention (ERP) which is the gold standard treatment for OCD. Through an organized, targeted, authentic, and warm style of therapy, I help individuals who have been struggling with anxiety to take charge of their lives. My clients and I explore their values, and use targeted interventions to help them make active progress toward achieving the values-based changes they wish to see in their lives.

DAYTIME/TELEHEALTH SESSIONS AVAILABLE I am an experienced clinician of approximately 20 years, with a private practice solely dedicated to work with TEENS, COLLEGE-AGE clients, and YOUNG ADULTS. Not only are these the age groups to which I am most drawn, I find that narrowing services to specific populations allows me to truly focus on and understand the unique needs and challenges of these groups. My style is described as warm, friendly and down-to-earth and I have had a lot of experience and success supporting hesitant and/or first-time clients in counseling/therapy.

It can be challenging and scary to seek counseling and to take the first steps toward desired change. Being aware of that, Latrese is grateful and eager about the opportunity to meet people where they are and to help them get to where they want to be.

I see clients in person in Watertown, MA. I also see clients using telehealth. For over 24 years, I have enjoyed helping clients navigate and heal marital/partnership issues, internal conflict, and the uncertainty of life transitions. I hope to help all of my clients recognize the underlying process that perpetuates problematic communication and behavior patterns. The unique work of therapy can result in a strong sense of personal empowerment, paving the way for heightened understanding and more fulfilling, happier relationships.

My ideal patient comes with an open mind to participate in talk therapy and narrative therapy. Ready to start a process - not necessarily eager to engage but wanting to make a change. They are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

The ideal client is motivated to continue to work with their inner child to become grounded in the present moment. They may have anxiety, mood disorders, or personality disorders, or they may not be sure what is underlying their experience, which I can help identify as well. The ideal clients are open to trying new methods of healing, including arts and spirituality. They are willing to trust me with their feelings and express them, whether that is verbally, through the expressive arts, or both.

I work with individuals to address a wide variety of mind/body issues.

Although I am well known as a hypnotherapist, my therapeutic approach is "Integrative" ; we may use a variety of strategies to get the results you seek.

This can be a client who struggles with their anxiety, possibly has poor attachment styles, and struggles with holding meaningful relationships (romantic, platonic, familial). Their goals would be identifying healthy boundaries and healthy responses, increasing effective communication skills, and identifying past relationships/present relationships in order to identify patterns/habits.
