Testimonials

 Working with Mrs LaShonda has been truly transformative for both me and my fiancé. She’s incredibly easy to talk to, relatable, and creates a space where we feel safe being fully honest. At the same time, she doesn’t let either of us sit in our own excuses—she calls us out when needed, in a supportive and respectful way. Her guidance has helped us make real progress in our communication and grow both individually and as a couple. ~LS

I always felt truly seen and understood in our work together, and I’m incredibly grateful for the role she played in helping me navigate that chapter of my life. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is both skilled and genuinely supportive"
~Ashley  inways I never thought possible. 

 I met LaShonda Ladler in 2019, when I was 31 years old and on the verge of what I can now confidently call a life crisis. I was searching for someone relatable, someone I could see myself in the moment I sat in her chair. I wanted a therapist who truly understood me as a Black woman, who could offer both empathy and compassion while also helping me navigate the overwhelming emotions I struggled to make sense of.

What I found in LaShonda was far more than I expected. My time with her was truly invaluable. She became a trusted sounding board and a confidante someone I could speak to freely, without fear of judgment. With her, I felt safe. I felt genuinely seen and heard.

LaShonda is exceptional at what she does, and I honestly cannot imagine beginning the next chapter of my life without her professional guidance and expertise. I will always recommend her services to anyone seeking clarity, balance, and a firmer grip on life. ~ Jaz
