Getting to know Latoya Nelson
Hi there, I'm Latoya!
Hello, my name is Latoya Nelson, and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 18 years of experience working with at-risk youth, foster youth, transition-aged youth, and individuals who have grown up in foster care. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Hawai?i Pacific University.
My approach
I approach my clients with empathy, respect, and non-judgment. I recognize that each individual has unique experiences and challenges, and I actively listen to concerns and perspectives. I take a collaborative and empowering approach to goal setting. By creating a supportive and non-threatening space, I encourage open and honest communication, allowing my clients to express themselves freely.
My focus
I specialize in working with transition-aged youth, supporting them as they navigate the critical period between adolescence and adulthood. I understand the unique obstacles they face, such as identity exploration, career development, and building healthy relationships. I am also skilled in addressing parental conflict, recognizing its impact on young people's well-being. I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to helping families resolve conflicts, improve communication, and foster healthier relationships.
My communication style
I have developed a unique and effective communication style tailored to working with transition-aged youth, at-risk youth, and former foster youth. With my extensive experience, I understand the importance of establishing a safe and trusting environment where young people feel heard and understood.
My goals for you
I approach my clients with empathy, respect, and non-judgment. I actively listen to concerns and perspectives and take a collaborative and empowering approach to goal setting. By creating a supportive and non-threatening space, I encourage open and honest communication, allowing all clients to express themselves freely.
