Lashonda Lafayette, LPC — Therapist in Arkansas

Hi there, I'm Lashonda!

Throughout my career, I have served children, young adults, and the elderly. I hold the conviction that everyone possesses the capacity to overcome trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and various challenges.

My focus

I am prepared to assist individuals from all backgrounds in overcoming challenges related to trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

My approach

My areas of expertise include Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Behavioral Management Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I aim to accompany you on your journey, providing the time, support, and opportunities necessary to enhance your abilities and positively change your life's direction.

My communication style

I aim to foster a stress-free and non-judgmental environment for my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

As I observed my children and those around me grappling with challenges, I realized that mere advice was insufficient. This spurred my desire to acquire skills and adopt a new mindset that would enable me to help others overcome self-imposed barriers and those set by others, with the goal of attaining mental and emotional resilience and autonomy.

My goals for you

When setting goals, you, the client, identify what you aim to achieve. As the therapist, I may offer suggestions, but ultimately, the focus of the session will be determined by your needs and desires.

Our first session

In the initial counseling sessions, I will dedicate time to understanding you. Likewise, the initial session offers a chance for you to become acquainted with me. My primary objective is to establish a rapport with you, which is paramount.
