Getting to know LaShanna Newton
Thank you for being courageous enough to start your healing journey. This journey is a process. There will be moments you want to quit, but I encourage you to continue the work because YOU are worth it.
My approach
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I strongly believe that our thoughts are the best place to start our healing journey. If you can change your thoughts, you can change your behavior.
My focus
My ideal clients are adults who are motivated to change. I have spent a significant amount of time working with adults who are dealing with self-esteem issues, grief, trouble communicating, major life changes (i.e., job, relationships, empty nesters, etc), and victims of narcissistic abuse. I have spent the past decade working specifically with the military and first responders.
My communication style
I prioritize clear yet direct communication. I also believe that honesty is the quickest way to clarity.
My journey to mental healthcare
I received my Bachelor's in Biology and my Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling. After working for a few years as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, I decided to return to school and focus on mental health. I later received my Education Doctorate in Counseling Psychology. I have been licensed for over 15 years.
My goals for you
My priority during sessions is to create an environment in which honesty without judgment is welcomed. Accurate identification of the issue allows us to appropriately address the root of the problem.
My first session with you
During the first session, I allow the client to take the lead, and I ask questions for clarity. Once I have a better understanding of the presenting issues, we will discuss our initial "plan of attack."
