Getting to know Lawanda Hoyle
Hi there, I'm Lawanda!
My name is Lawanda Hoyle, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. My clinical practice is tailored to the individual needs of each client I treat. I focus on helping clients identify unhealthy thought patterns to achieve balance in their lives. I pride myself on providing individuals with the necessary skills to cope with life's challenges.
My approach
I incorporate a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, grief counseling, substance abuse counseling, narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client/person-centered therapy. I am also solution-focused and have the ability to help clients problem-solve barriers that arise.
My focus
I have worked with individuals with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse issues in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am comfortable and experienced in treating those with anxiety, depression, PTSD, gender identity issues, eating disorders, phobias, trauma, and addiction. I also enjoy working with individuals from the LGBTQIA community.
My communication style
My focus is to help individuals rediscover lost hope and become aware of their inner strengths. This is fostered by providing a neutral, safe space, listening to your concerns, and collaboratively customizing a treatment plan. I believe that you are the expert of your life and hope to join you in discovering the skills necessary to live the life you want to live.
