Therapist
Laquita R. Thomas
I have 17 years of experience in mental health and understands that everyone does not have the same journey. If I am able to empower someone to understand that their past or current situation does not determine where they are going, I have given them tools to transform their life. It takes real courage to seek help and can be quite overwhelming; however, I want to offer you a safe and confidential space to express your emotions, discuss your concerns, and work towards feeling better.
