Getting to know Latara Leggett
Hi there, I'm Latara!
Hi, I'm Latara Leggett. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana and Mississippi with 16 years of professional experience. I earned my Master's in Social Work from The University of Southern Mississippi. I help clients cope with addictions, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and parenting issues. I work with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I have been seen as a great listener and easy to talk to. I celebrate this first important step with you! You got this, and I'm here to support you!
My approach
I offer a strength-based, client-driven approach to addressing problems identified by you. Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or trauma-focused CBT, my goal is to help you access, learn, and use skills needed to accomplish goals identified during our time together.
My focus
I work primarily with clients experiencing symptoms related to stress, anxiety, and depression. Addressing trauma and traumatic experiences is also a focus. When working with children, I address symptoms of ADHD, ODD, and trauma, focusing on behaviors causing disruptions in home and school settings.
My communication style
I have an assertive communication style, meaning I communicate directly and honestly about your thoughts and feelings. I respect your ideas and feelings while challenging unhealthy thoughts in a healthy, therapeutic manner.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became a therapist because I come from a place of experience. I haven't experienced every challenge each person has encountered, but I understand the importance of meeting people where they are. It's the most important aspect of therapy for me as your therapist.
