LaJoi Lewis, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm LaJoi!

I help people heal from their past and reclaim themselves to determine how they want to live, think, and experience their future according to their potential and purpose.

My focus

I work with people navigating past setbacks and pain. After reflecting and understanding the past with adult perspectives, we discover how to fill missing pieces and create strength-based goals to embrace your potential, purpose, and what you want in your present and future.

My approach

I am interested in my client's uniqueness (i.e., family, faith, culture, interests, personality, worldview, past, etc.) to provide strength-based and solution-focused psychological care. I use evidence-based treatments to support my clients through life’s challenges and navigating their past pain.

My communication style

For those seeking faith-based counseling, I incorporate spiritual support blended with psychological insights to help navigate challenges. I use down-to-earth language and straightforward honesty to connect with clients. While I am not as tough as a drill sergeant, I am definitely as soft in delivery as a kindergarten teacher.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own painful experiences with loss, disappointment, personal and professional challenges, and family and faith issues inspired me to help others overcome and get support.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative conversation. The speed and intensity of treatment are determined together and amended throughout sessions. Coping strategies, goals, and treatments are cultivated from your active role and participation in the care plan.

Our first session

Everyone has a different set of needs for their first session, some people want validation, to be understood, and others want answers as to what's going on with them or reassurance that they aren't buggin' out. First sessions are typically a chance to assess what these needs are, to get comfortable with one another.
