She is the best! I love her willingness to work on personal and practical items, depending on where I’m at each week. I always take away new tools and learn more about myself each session.

From the very first session LaKendra King made me feel like I was in the right place, with her helping me. Whatever question I had she answered. When I cried she let me know it was ok take my time. Discussing your personal life with someone who you don’t really know can be hard but I knew she was here to help me. And at this time in my life I really need it. I have been recommending her to others I know. I feel so much better already.

LaKendra creates a safe space for me to be vulnerable and my authentic self. She makes sure I hold myself accountable for my current goals. Just love talking to her and wish our sessions were longer.

Miss King is definitely an asset to better help and to me and others. As soon as I received her warm and pretty smile, just from her positive energy and calming demeanor that I was in the right hands. We’ve only had one session together so far, but that’s my fault. She is always there when I need her, she gives Ms worksheets to help me through, and I value her. I know she is going to help me be a better woman and get to where I need to be in my life. May happen in one month, six months or two years, but I’m sticking through it . I know with the upmost confidence that she is the right provider for me.

Within the first 10 minutes of speaking with LaKendra, I knew she listened and wanted to help me. I feel like therapy works well for those who are willing to open up and are ready to do what it takes to improve their lives. I have my second session schedules tomorrow and I’m super excited. Thank you, LaKendra for not judging me and listening to me.

We are just a couple of sessions in but Lakendra sees me and I feel like I finally have someone I can talk to about it all without judgment. She is super supportive and attentive and focused on helping me get better. I like how's she's able to anticipate my needs and how the exercises she gives me resonates with what I'm going through and what I need even without me saying them.

Initially I was hesitant about therapy until this app was recommended through a family friend. I am very proud pleased with Lakendra. She’s providing me with a lot of insight into my life and solutions on how to make it better while addressing my concerns. She’s shown me how to manage emotions better and my relationships. And I see a dramatic difference in the way I interact and deal with obstacles now. I sleep better and generally a more clear direction and positive outlook on my future. Lakendra is passionate about her job and I am great full for the balance she’s brought and continues to bring in my life.

Lakendra is brilliant. She helps gain a different perspective on my issues. It's really good to talk to her without having to worry about how my thoughts/feelings will affect her. I would recommend her to anyone.
