I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adolescents, adults, and couples. My area of expertise is grief and bereavement work. Grief results from many different kinds of losses. Whether you are struggling with the death of loved one, the ending of a long-term relationship, the loss of a job, or even an identity crisis stemming from a major life change, such as marriage, birth of a child, retirement, or medical diagnosis, you may be experiencing a variety of emotions typical with grief. Working through these emotions is essential in order to heal.

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. I believe that clients dictate which type of therapy to approach and that it is best when a client leads the way. 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.

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 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.

For many of us, it can seem easier to support others, yet we struggle with taking care of ourselves. We often know how to be a good friend to a loved one, while falling short on being our own friend. Therapy is a great step in practicing self-awareness and self-care. It also is a way to learn skills that can help you achieve your goals. Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidenced-based interventions, I work with clients to relieve suffering and achieve better quality of life. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, OCD, adjustment difficulties, and relationship concerns.

Using motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and the choices that follow, I will work with you to embrace your true self and create a life that is authentic and emotionally fulfilling.
There are certain transition points in life: moments when you identify a shift in your inner dialogue, or you recognize a need for lasting change, or you decide it’s time to choose which of your life experiences should be footnotes and which should be part of your greater narrative. I believe these are moments of opportunity—and together, we can use the discomfort caused by life changes, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or other stressors to navigate the next portion of your life journey in a brave, healthy direction. I look forward to learning more about you and your goals for change.

Most adults come to me seeking help for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or stress.
I use exploration of thoughts & feelings, mindfulness, meditation, and creativity to help you feel greater peace, be more aware of the present moment, pay less attention to unhelpful thoughts and live your life more fully. I believe that noticing what's "right" about you and paying attention to your inner wisdom greatly enhance the process of change and I focus on these areas in our time together. Everyone experiences difficulties at times and therapy can be an effective first step in finding freedom from suffering. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment and help you develop a nonjudgemental attitude toward yourself.

I help empower individuals to set healthy goals and gain personal insight.

I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy which allows me to tailor treatment to a person's needs in order to assess difficulties, set realistic goals, and to evaluate progress.

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 provide treatment for a variety of issues: anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting, infertility, among others.
I have been a practicing psychotherapist in the metropolitan area for the past 25 years. I received my B.A. from the University of Virginia and MSW from Catholic University. Emotional distress, as uncomfortable as it is, represents not only an opportunity to heal, but a chance to grow. It can be a chance to discover how to be effective at reaching one's objectives and achieving fulfillment, whether it be emotional, relational, or professional. My aim is to assist in this process.

I particularly enjoy working with clients hoping to change unhealthy relationship patterns, and manage the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on themselves, and the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in creating change. It is important to have a safe, empowering, and supportive environment in order to examine hurtful relationship patterns and emotional difficulties, and in turn change negative self-evaluations to better respond to life's challenges. I am genuinely interested in and committed to helping my clients gain insight and express their needs in order to engage in more healthy relationships and live the life they want.

Relationship Issues Therapists
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.
