Getting to know Lasonya Jenkins

Hi there, I'm Lasonya! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that being your best self requires stability mentally, spiritually, and physically. My focus as your therapist is to support you in finding this balance. I have 9 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My major focus is mental health, substance abuse, and helping each client learn and incorporate healthier coping skills into their lives to live more productive and successful lives. I earned my Master's in Counseling from Grand Canyon University and my Bachelor's degree from the University of Louisiana Monroe. My approach I take a Person-Centered approach, focusing on empowering my clients by helping them recognize their internal strengths and become more aware of the supports and resources around them that can assist during times of need and crisis. My clinical approach varies because I look at each client individually and their specific needs, offering a non-judgmental environment filled with compassion and empathy, allowing room for growth and healing. My focus I enjoy working with women, men, and adults of a wide range of ages. I have experience supporting clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance and alcohol abuse, stress, mood disorders, and more. I warmly welcome LGBTQ+ clients. My communication style I create an inviting, comforting, and trusting environment where clients feel free to speak openly with confidence, knowing they will not be judged or stereotyped. I focus on being a great listener to better understand my clients' needs, which helps me determine the best approach for treatment. My journey to mental healthcare Out of seven children, I am the youngest, but I am the one my siblings have always consulted with-and still do-when they have problems. I came to realize that I'm pretty good at this!
