LaToya Tanniehill , LCSW
About me
Hello and welcome! My name is LaToya, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience providing mental health services to children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds.
I understand how challenging it can feel to juggle the demands of work, family, and personal well-being—especially when anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or life transitions weigh heavily on your mind. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply tired of “pushing through” without the support they deserve.
As your therapist, my role is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can express yourself openly and begin building the tools you need to heal and grow. I specialize in:
• Anxiety & Stress Management
• Grief, Loss, & Life Transitions
• Relationship & Family Challenges
• Parenting & Work-Life Balance
• Self-Esteem & Boundaries
My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I draw on evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques—always tailoring our work to fit your unique needs. You can expect me to bring empathy, practical tools, and encouragement to every session.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are while helping you take meaningful steps forward, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in this journey. Together, we can work toward the peace, clarity, and confidence you deserve.

Latoya is an excellent Active listener, very responsive, and very good at letting me express my feelings while also giving structure!

LaToya was exactly what I was looking for. She is such a great listener and pushes you to come to your own conclusions. One of the most powerful lessons I learned from her was that I've know the answers all along. I just never forced myself to sit with the questions and come to conclusions.

LaToya is truly amazing. She has a way of listening and providing support that I’ve never experienced with other therapists. I highly recommend LaToya for therapy.

I have had bad experiences in the past so coming in I was not to sure. However just with the first video session La Toya Tanniehill completely changed my opinion. I was comfortable with her. I opened up to her immediately and I have a hard time letting people in. I’m looking forward to this journey!

Having LaToya as my therapist has changed my life. I tell everyone that my therapist is my best friend. LaToya has really fostered an endearing relationship with me, and I value it to the utmost degree. She’s an excellent listener when I need her to be, and when she offers me her professional expertise, it’s always spot on. Having a therapist that you can relate to is worth it’s weight in gold, and I love that she gets me and understands me and takes her time to learn me in every session by letting me talk her ear off lol. I’m so glad that LaToya was placed in my life. I wouldn’t know what to do without her…
