Getting to know Latonya Badger

Hi there, I'm Latonya! I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Patient-Centered, and Narrative approaches. With years of experience, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindful practices, offering a compassionate and non-judgmental space for personal growth. My approach is rooted in empathy, aiming to help individuals navigate life's challenges and embrace their true potential. I am dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey to emotional well-being. My primary focus is on understanding each client's unique experiences, strengths, and challenges. I believe in empowering clients by helping them discover their inner resources and build resilience. My journey to becoming a mental health therapist began in high school when I took a health occupation class. This experience included clinical rounds at Dorthea Dix Hospital, where I developed a deep interest in mental health care. The insights and experiences I gained during this time solidified my passion for helping others, ultimately guiding me toward a career as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). When it comes to goal setting, I work closely with clients to identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. Together, we break down larger goals into manageable steps, celebrate progress, and adjust the plan as needed to ensure continuous growth and improvement. During your first therapy session, expect a warm and welcoming environment where you can feel safe and comfortable. We'll spend time getting to know each other, discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, and explore your goals. We'll also cover what to expect in future sessions and how we'll work together to achieve your objectives.
