Getting to know Lakisha Lester
Hello, I am Lakisha Lester, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been changing lives in various roles for over twenty years and have worked in the mental health field for more than 11 years. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University and hold a Bachelor's degree from San Diego State University.
My approach
My style of therapy is tailored to each client's unique needs. There is no one-size-fits-all method with me. Whatever it takes to get the job done is the approach we will use. The only requirement I have when working with a client is that we form a solid bond so we can get to the root of the issue.
My focus
My services are available to anyone facing challenges and uncertainty. Many of the people I work with struggle with depression, stress, and anxiety. I have found that my style and approach as a therapist are a good fit for anyone seeking a passionate and committed therapist who ensures you have access to support when you need it most.
My communication style
I am a laid-back, easygoing person. As a therapist, I pay close attention to detail and listen to learn. These skills elevate the level of care my clients receive.
My journey to therapy
My faith, character, and love for others guide me. My passion is helping people achieve their best, which is the main reason I became a therapist.
My goals for you
When working with me, therapy goals are collaborative. You and I will work together to develop your goals for therapy.
My first session with you
During our initial session, the floor is yours. This is your time to share what has been going on and what your expectations are of me and the therapeutic process.
