Therapists in Winston Salem, NC

My heart is to serve anyone that walks through my door. I hope to create a safe, trusting place for you to know you can share your struggles in an authentic and raw, and productive space. My heart is to serve you in a holistic way and I desire to give equal attention to the past, present, and future. I tend to lean towards a cognitive behavioral approach with a lot of grace thrown in. I desire to sit in the mess with you but then empower and equip you with the skills and coping mechanisms to climb your way out.

You are the only expert of your own life, but sometimes we need a little help. My perspective is that I'm the GPS and you're the driver- you know where you are isn't where you want to be and I am there to guide you and re-route as needed. I have worked with a wide range of clients with a focus on military members and dependents, life stressors, trauma (combat and otherwise), marital distress, depression, anxiety, and domestic violence. I am LGBT+, kink, and sex work friendly. I believe that it takes courage to come to therapy and you deserve authenticity and a space where you can address your concerns without fear of being judged.

Hi, I’m Latisha (Therapist Elle to some) and I’m glad you’re here! With over ten years of experience working with adolescents, couples, and individuals, I am committed to empowering others to be resilient. Sometimes in life, emotions, relationships and circumstances in general can become overwhelming and difficult to work through on your own. That is where I come in. I am here to support you in becoming the best version of yourself and walk with you on your path to healing. I applaud you for taking the first step to getting started.

Trauma is a big umbrella term that can mean different things, and its impact can show up in different ways. Sometimes, people who have had adverse life experiences can swing between trying to stay rigidly in control, or feeling out of control. You may engage in behaviors that seem to bring some relief, even as they cause other problems in your life. These behaviors might include self-harm, substance use, or disordered eating. Other times you may be more impacted by someone else's behavior. Either way, I want to help you feel more freedom and choice in your life and relationships, and find peace from your traumatic experiences.

There comes a time in all of our lives that we need a helping hand. We may not like to admit it, but we need assistance in sorting out our thoughts, feelings, problems and even relationships. Often times these situations can be overwhelming and that is where I can be of assistance. We will work together on what you want to change and work on.

When working with my client's I understand there is not a one-size-fits all kind of treatment, and try to tailor to my client's needs as much as possible. Ultimately, I want to try to help you help yourself so you can be independent as possible, but have some guidance when it comes to figuring out life challenges so you do not have to face them alone.

Have you ever felt like you weren’t being heard? That others don’t really understand what you are going through? Or perhaps they do listen, only to give you unsolicited advice in an attempt to be helpful. Perhaps you want focus on problems related to alcohol and substance use, communication skills, or relationship concerns. Maybe your most urgent concern is alleviating symptoms of depression, anxiety, and grief. Or, you may be grappling with overwhelming life questions that either don't make sense or seem to have no answers.

Thank you for considering working with me as your counselor. I work individually and in groups with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I approach counseling from a person-centered theoretical background, meaning I believe that each person has within themselves the tools to grow, change, heal and improve. It is my goal to help individuals access those personal resources and grow in their personal self-efficacy. Self-awareness and self-efficacy, while goals in the counseling relationship, are difficult to achieve and will take time, energy, and client engagement. Clients will feel that they are able to face life's challenges.

Are you feeling stuck as a result of past trauma? Are your relationships, career and/or self-esteem negatively impacted by your trauma history? Trauma isn't always the "big T" trauma we think of when we hear the word "trauma". It can be caused by any ongoing situation that causes distress, fear, and a sense of helplessness. This can happen in your family of origin, a relationship or even a workplace setting. The good news is that the rest of the story is unwritten. You can heal. Processing trauma with a skilled, supportive clinician can help you transform anxiety, fear and shame into connection, wellness and purpose.

I work with clients who are dealing with different issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Together we set goals in order to overcome or manage the obstacles that each issue brings.

One of my favorite quotes by Melody Beattie conveys the essence of our counseling relationship: “Learn to listen to your inner voice. Listen to your heart. It’s your connection to God, to people, to the universe, and to yourself." My goal is to create a safe and positive environment allowing you an opportunity to explore and grow in self-awareness as you learn more about how to identify new strategies and cope with your circumstances in healthy ways. I believe in the power of individuals to change as they work toward common goals with their therapist, drawing upon person-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches.

Life comes at us from every angle. Obligations, expectations, and responsibilities from work, family, home, school, and friends can weigh heavy on our shoulders. Everyone wants a piece of us and we aim to tackle it all. We need to be prepared and equipped to handle the challenges. The strategies I employ at Newcastle Counseling are designed to set you up to formulate a plan, overcome obstacles, and solve problems.

I provide basic mental health counseling and psychoeducational services to pediatric and adult populations between the ages of 10 and adult. Specifically, I serve persons with general mental health concerns and who have experienced trauma. I believe there is a significant interplay between cognition, affect, and behaviors. A person who is able to successfully restructure cognition through understanding of their needs will be successful in making behavioral, and affective changes with lasting success and improved mental health wellbeing.
