Getting to know LaQuita Suggs

My name is LaQuita Suggs. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 18 years of experience and hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I approach therapy from an embracing and nonjudgmental perspective. My approach I view therapy as a collaborative effort that requires goal setting as an integral part of the process. My primary focus is assisting individuals in understanding how life experiences, combined with other factors, may impact their view of self and others by using a variety of cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and mindfulness techniques. My focus I am comfortable working with a variety of individuals, from teenagers to adults, dealing with a range of life, biological, and environmental issues. My experience extends to conditions such as grief and loss, work/life balance, depression, anxiety, stress, phases of life change, relational concerns, gender identity and sexuality struggles, family conflict, and more. My communication style I am practical and nonjudgmental, providing an inviting atmosphere to all individuals I serve. It typically takes a short period to develop a connection and help clients feel supported. My journey to therapy I believe I have been assessing people and situations since childhood. I had an innate interest early on in helping people find some semblance of contentment in life. I am compassionate about helping people heal rather than simply coexist with pain and feelings of defeat. My goals for you Within the second or third session, I like to establish SMART goals tailored to measure progress and improvement within a short period. My first session with you During the initial session, you can expect an intake that gathers information from both past and present to help us establish rapport and begin the therapeutic process.
