Getting to know Laporshe Smith
Hi there, I'm Laporshe!
My name is Laporshe, and I'm a licensed therapist in Atlanta, GA. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Argosy University. You can take a look at my profile to learn a little bit more about my background and approach. Please feel free to ask any questions.
My approach
My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. I believe there is no “one size fits all” type of therapy; I tailor my style according to the needs of my clients by using integrative approaches when suitable.
My focus
Whether you're dealing with feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
My communication style
You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques to help you move past the challenges holding you back. Let's work together!
