Getting to know Latonya Badger
Hello, Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or like life is taking over? It's completely natural to experience these emotions from time to time, but you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. My name is Latonya Badger, and I'm an experienced and compassionate mental health provider here to support you on your journey towards well-being and happiness.
I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and have over 4 years of experience in the mental health field. As a licensed therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals like you find balance, resilience, and inner strength. My approach is client-centered, meaning I tailor each session to your unique needs and circumstances. Together, we'll work collaboratively to address your concerns and develop personalized strategies to cope with life's stressors.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a therapist, clients can expect to take away several valuable things from a session with me. The specific outcomes may vary depending on the individual's needs and goals, but some common takeaways include:
1. Increased self-awareness
2. Improved coping skills
3. Emotional support
4. Goal setting and problem-solving
5. Improved communication skills
6. Continued growth outside sessions:
Remember, each client is unique, and their journey in therapy will be individualized based on their needs and preferences. The effectiveness of therapy often depends on the client's active participation and willingness to engage in the process. My role as a therapist is to provide a supportive and empathetic environment while using evidence-based techniques and interventions to facilitate the client's growth and well-being.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Had my first session today with Latonya and I feel like I will be able to become comfortable with her. I am looking forward to many more sessions on tackling my self care.

She has a calming energy which makes it easy for me to unpack the many years/layers of hurt that are surfacing in my life. Losing my person of 40+ years has devastated my soul. The depression lingering has been heavy and processing my thoughts with Latonya is affording me to look at the sources, head on. I am still a long way from healing, however, I feel reassured with every session and ready to implement the tools necessary to continue forward differently than I have.

Latonya Badger is open-minded and understanding. She can be very direct when she feels the need to redirect or should I say change reoccurring bad behaviors.

I was very nervous to begin my appointment. She was very welcoming and put me at ease from the start. It was like talking to someone I’d known for a while.
