“Latoya is incredible! She makes me feel heard and understood in every session. I feel as if she genuinely cares about my progress in therapy, and she is dedicated to helping me along my journey (even if the journey feels more like a scribble than the straight line I envisioned at the beginning lol). She's also flexible and works with my schedule. I always look forward to our sessions!”

Getting to know Latoya Seals
**Disclaimer: Please respond to outreach from counselor as it is important when confirming appointment.**
As a seasoned mental health professional with a Master's in Health Counseling from Canisius College, I have dedicated many years to providing compassionate care to adults facing a wide range of stressors, transitions, and other concerns. My approach is grounded in creating a supportive and nurturing environment that fosters growth, healing, and self-awareness. By utilizing an integrative approach that draws on a range of therapeutic modalities-including EMDR and trauma-informed care-I am able to provide customized care that meets the unique needs of each individual client. Over the course of my 10+ years in the field, I have gained a deep understanding of the human experience, which helps me connect with my clients and guide them on their journey of self-discovery. Through various trainings and professional development opportunities, I have honed my skills and expertise, allowing me to provide compassionate care that helps my clients achieve their goals and find greater fulfillment in their lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to my work as a mental health professional. I begin by utilizing psychoanalytic practices to gain a deeper understanding of my clients' unique experiences, interests, and concerns. By establishing rapport and trust, I create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through psychoeducation and other evidence-based practices, I guide clients on their journey of self-discovery, helping them to identify their goals, track their progress, and address any fears or concerns that may arise. By creating a space where clients feel safe and secure, I am able to help them work through the issues that have been holding them back, leading to greater self-awareness, personal growth, and a more fulfilling life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As a mental health professional, I am committed to providing personalized care that meets the unique needs of each individual client. To this end, I work collaboratively with my clients to determine the best approach for their specific situation. I often begin by utilizing motivational interviewing to explore the client's past experiences with therapy and to identify any short-term or long-term goals they may have. This helps to establish a clear framework for our work together and ensures that we are working towards a common goal.
Throughout the therapeutic process, I encourage clients to delve deeper into their patterns and themes, exploring cognitive distortions, schemas, and attachment styles that may be impacting their lives. By examining their beliefs and attitudes, we can work together to identify areas of conflict and develop strategies for managing stress and reducing overall stressors.
I also take a multiculturalistic approach to my work, recognizing the ways in which our history and experiences shape who we are and impact our happiness, sense of control, power, and choice in life. By providing a safe and supportive environment, I help clients to cultivate a sense of autonomy and develop the skills they need to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and resilience.
Ultimately, my goal is to help clients feel a sense of agency in their lives, even when things are difficult. By learning to respond to emotional triggers in a more adaptive way and developing a greater sense of self-awareness, clients can continue to evolve and grow into the person they want to be.
