LaJuana Walker-McGill

My communication style

I create a safe space that allows clients to openly express their feelings without judgment. I like for therapy to feel like a solution-focused conversation that clients are able to benefit from.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have wanted to be a therapist since I was in high school. I watched an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show that involved a family being helped by a therapist. At that moment, I knew that I wanted to be someone who would help individuals and families heal from emotional pain and disappointment.

My goals for you

I include the client in the goal-setting process.

Our first session

In the first session, the client should expect to be informed of the practice policies, be given the time to get comfortable with the therapeutic environment, and be involved in the information-gathering process. The client should expect to answer a few questions to aid in identifying their therapeutic needs.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
• Christian
