She is the best! She knows how to take my words and put them into sentences that makes sense with my thoughts. I look forward to my sessions every week because I know how beneficial they are. I have seen much progress since I started therapy in November.

Louvenia Locklear (MSW, LCSW, LCAS-A) is one of the brightest lights in helping me towards positive mental wellness. She boldly defines standards for therapy at its best: a non-pathologizing, deeply respectful, collaborative process. She helps gives me the tools, and techniques for me to work on each week.
