I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a Masters in Counseling Psychology with a focus in Gender and Women's Studies along with intersectionality and creating safe spaces for LGBTQ+ people. As a Black Queer Woman, I feel it's important to meet people where they are based on identity as related to mental health needs. I have experience working with concerns such as depression, anxiety, life changes, and attachment issues. I also have experience with teens, adults, couples, and queer People of Color. You are the driver in your process while I am here to help navigate. I'm excited to go on the journey with you.
Please know that I have a private practice schedule alongside this schedule. Certain days are indicated for BetterHelp clients and could be subject to change. Thanks for your understanding.

It has been nice having Lawanda as my therapist. She listens, acknowledges your struggles and offers insight into the struggles you have. I would recommend to anyone who may be having a difficult time in their life and just needs someone professional to talk to.

Lawanda helped me get to the root of the issues I didn't know I had been battling since I was a small child so that I knew what to seek out from other sources. Since doing so with her advice and expertise I feel like I've unlocked the cheat code to life. I had been struggling so hard for so long that I didn't know any different. She helped me get to a place where I now feel like life is effortless. My financial situation unfortunately suddenly changed else I would continue counseling with her just because I enjoy her company. 10/10 would recommend this excellent example of a human being.

I've only had 2 sessions with LaWanda so far, but I can already tell that she is AMAZING. I love the way she uses humor in our sessions. I never thought therapy would make me laugh so much.
