Getting to know LaTosha Akana
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist committed to treating individuals, couples, and families. My clinical interests include treating couples’ issues in transition periods (preparing for marriage, parenthood, or divorce), spiritual or religious issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other life transition issues. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches in working with clients and the relationships they have in their lives. Using an integrative change model, I highlight the strengths of different theories to fit the client’s identified needs. I consider myself both a nurturing and direct therapist, displaying patience with the treatment process and providing a safe and secure relationship with which clients can process their vulnerabilities. With a client’s aspirations in mind, I strongly believe in holding them accountable for the change they desire and moving with them on their path to achieving their goals. I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of George Fox. I received my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University with a thesis on anxiety treatment. I have extensive training and experience in crisis intervention, clinical experience regarding trauma in children and adults, activity in couples’ issues, and expertise in treating deprivation disorders, including bipolar disorder.
