More about LaKisha

  • 24 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC, LPC

Are you struggling to make decisions that you feel should be simple? Is it difficult for you to maintain relationships with family, your partner or children? Do you have a history of trauma or abuse? Are your tired of falling into the same patterns or cycles? Do you feel you are your best self?

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC). I'm here to assist with support, guidance, and skills to help you to make the best decisions so you can get better results. I provide individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to young adults and adults. Previous and current clients describe me as an intuitive, open-minded person who is easy to talk to. I integrate different approaches to help clients reach their goals. I prefer to work from a relational and psychodynamic perspective. I also use a holistic approach which encompasses the spirit, body, and mind. Other approaches I use include Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Solution-Focused Theory.

I believe in changing your thoughts to change your world. I am direct and honest and solution and goal oriented. I believe in supporting the whole person, and implementing interventions based on unique and individual needs. I believe that therapy can only be effective when there is alliance between the therapist and client.

I feel strongly that you must be fully invested in treatment for it to work. My goal is to understand and listen to client’s preferences and opinions so we can develop a plan together. I believe clients posses all of the resources they need to get the life they want.

Some of my experience includes addictions, trauma, PTSD,self esteem, abuse, infertility, decision making, pornography, depression, anxiety, LGBT, marriage, partner and family relationships.

LaKisha is an amazing counselor. She really listens, understands and puts in as much time as she can. She’s very inquisitive, intelligent, but most of all she’s very warm and makes you feel like no matter what you are going through that you have someone there that will be open, honest and encouraging. She knows when to be tough and still empathetic, everything you could ask for in a therapist. I highly recommend her!!

Jan 2019

So far LaKisha has been great. She challenges me but also supports me. I feel like she really helps me to try and understand my feelings and behaviors in a different way to help me try to move forward with my issues. I love that we pray together and that what the Bible says is part of our discussions but it's not just throwing scripture at me and saying figure it out. I am so glad I have begun counseling with LaKisha and look forward to more sessions with her to help me through my issues.

Jan 2019

LaKisha is very knowledgeable and incorporates prayer and scriptures into every phone session. She is a good listener and always give sound advice.

Sep 2018

Lakisha has been a true blessing from God! She is truly led by spirit and has helped me grow tremendously with her knowledge, wisdom, prayer, and kindness! She gives me the tools I need to work on myself both psychologically and spiritually.

Aug 2018

I've been working with LaKisha for over three months now and I've come a long way thanks to her. She listens and understands me in a way that I really needed. She does a great job of making me see situations from different perspectives. She always leaves me thinking more deeply and feeling confident. Our "chats" have gotten me through some very rough days and I'm grateful to know that she is always in my corner. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone!

Aug 2018

I am so thankful for my counselor Lakisha. She is God sent and I’m very happy with the work we are doing and my progress that I’ve made. She is down to earth and yet God uses her in such a way to speak.

Apr 2018

Lakisha is an amazing help! She is exactly what I needed: sensitive to my issues and tough enough to push me to do better. She was sent by God. In the midst of my crazy world she is helping me take life one step at a time and puck myself up. I love the peace I get from reading her advice and words. Thank you!!

Nov 2023

LaKisha has been soooo helpful along my journey. She listens, and guides me the best way for me. I’m not very big on messaging, it gives me too much time to overthink, and she accommodates that. Weekly phone calls and worksheets that don’t keep me going in circles. She’s leading me to setting my goals and the best way to get there. I appreciate all of her help so far.

Aug 2023

LaKisha Erwin is a caring, attentive and supportive therapist.

I have been working LaKisha for about two weeks and she has brought things to mind that I buried for years because I didn't know what to do once I addressed it. She is helping me guide my way through my feelings and has given me tools to change my thoughts and behaviors. I am surprised in such a short time I am seeing my thoughts changed. I thank God for LaKisha and BetterHelp.

Jan 2021

I just started working with LaKisha and I already feel that I am heard and that this is a safe space to unpack the areas of my life that need to be addressed.

Nov 2020

LaKisha makes it easy to talk about what is bothering me with no judgement. I know I can message her with something that comes up randomly that bothers me, and she will respond quickly and help me figure out what I need to do or how I should approach the situation. She has helped me look into myself to see what I want, and what makes me happy, and I trust her to help guide me to that place of self happiness I am looking for. She isn’t just a therapist, she is my eye opening friend who tells me what l need to hear.

Oct 2020

LaKisha has been incredibly monumental for my growth, she is kind, patient and filled with God's Spirit. I am eternally grateful for her and the tools she has given me to move forward from so many traumas in my life and be able to confront my emotions and situations in a healthy way, having grace and respect for myself. I cannot thank her enough and am so grateful God brought us together during this season. She is knowledgeable, professional, the worksheets helped me out so much to process in my own time, she's really the best!

Jul 2020

So far she’s been a good help over the past couple weeks and I really feel between her and god I’ll be able to resolve the issues I’m having. Thank you for the help you’ve provide so far.

May 2020

I have only worked with LaKisha for a few weeks and her patience, care and understanding have really helped. Every time I send her a message and she replies, she always brings up a point that opens up my mind. It has really helped re-shape my perspective and feel better about myself!

LaKisha is a phenomenal counselor. She has a welcoming, calm demeanor that makes it super easy to support a therapeutic relationship.

LaKisha is my light in the storm. She pointed something out in the first 30 minutes of us talking that no one has ever considered but TOTALLY made sense! She is kind, gentle and attentive. I’m VERY pleased with the work we are doing! I highly recommend her!

At a loss for words trying to describe how amazing my counselor is. I've spent time with other counselors and have never felt so comfortable opening up to her. She was definitely sent to me by God to help me!

Jul 2018

I think Mrs. Erwin is the best she listen to you fair and square and stays neutral not taking any one person side, but helping you get to the bottom of the actual problem she listen no judgement makes you feel extremely comfortable. So I never felt left without help she is the absolute best
