Are you looking for a compassionate space to process life changes? Are you facing challenges in school, in social situations, or in handling your relationships? Life transitions can be challenging because they change our daily routines. Whether you're starting a new job, college, moving to a new place, ending a relationship, or adjusting to a new phase of life, these changes can make us feel anxious, afraid, or depressed as we get used to new situations. Coping with these transitions might mean building strength and rethinking who we are or what we want.

I value a compassionate, warm, genuine therapeutic relationship that can help you come to know your problems and identify actionable solutions.
It can be difficult to find the "right" therapist. Many clients are nervous about what therapy entails and wonder if counseling will really help them. Although this is completely normal, it shouldn't get in the way of finding the support you deserve. I have found success helping clients navigate relational and professional difficulties. Sometimes these problems come from an identifiable stressor (such as trauma), and other times are more nebulous. I am committed to helping you better understand yourself and create long-lasting change.

I am an interactive therapist who uses the therapeutic relationship as the entry point for exploring the thoughts, feelings, and habits that have become difficult for the client. I believe that people are natural learners who have become who they are through what they have learned from experience, and that psychotherapy is a focused and intentional way of continuing to learn about life, self, and relationship in ways that help a person move toward more effective and satisfying ways of living. I am optimistic, as I believe that as long as we are talking there is always hope for improvement.

I work with clients across the lifespan experiencing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, relationship problems, identity & sexuality issues, trauma, and shame.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, uncomfortable, and even scary. It may also feel exciting or give you a sense of relief. I want to assure you that no matter what it is you are feeling or experiencing, you aren't alone. This is your healing journey, and I am here to support you with care and compassion and without judgment.

I am Dr. Latoya Gassaway-White, and I have my LPC. I have been practicing CBT and solution-focused mostly, but I have experience with psychodynamic and family therapy approaches.

Together we create realistic and attainable goals, and then I help my clients tackle and achieve those goals. I work primarily with clients with anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
