LaKeisha Pitts, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm LaKeisha!

I offer compassionate online therapy for adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, life transitions, and the tender emotional landscape of creatives and creative entrepreneurs. Together, we’ll slow down, understand old survival patterns, regulate your nervous system, and rebuild clarity and self-trust.

My focus

I support adults feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move through a new season. My work is especially aligned with those ready to slow down, understand old survival patterns, regulate their nervous system, and reconnect with more grounding, clarity, self-trust, and inner calm.

My approach

My approach is calm, compassionate, and collaborative. I walk beside you as we slow down and listen to what your mind, body, and nervous system are communicating. Together, we explore old survival patterns, build emotional regulation, and reconnect with the grounded, whole, wise parts of you.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, calm, compassionate, and reflective. I create space for honest conversation, gentle curiosity, and deeper self-understanding. I’ll meet you with care, offer grounding support, and help you explore patterns without judgment or pressure.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into this work has been shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I know what it means to navigate hard seasons, heal survival patterns, and come home to yourself. That is why I’m passionate about offering care that is grounded, compassionate, and deeply human.

My goals for you

I help clients clarify what they want to feel, shift, and practice in daily life. Together, we set meaningful, realistic goals, then use reflection, nervous system tools, and small grounded steps to build emotional regulation, self-trust, and lasting change.

Our first session

Your first session is a gentle beginning, a place to exhale, settle in, and let your story unfold at a pace that feels safe. We’ll begin learning about each other, explore what brings you here, and start clarifying what support, grounding, and healing may look like for you in this season.
