Laraeven White, LPC — Therapist in Tennessee

Hi there, I'm Laraeven!

As your therapist, I foster a safe, non-judgmental, and nurturing environment for clients to learn and grow at their own pace. I wholeheartedly believe one of the most crucial aspects of counseling is the relationship between a therapist and their client.

My focus

Feeling stressed, depressed, or hopeless? You are in the right place. I specialize in collaborating with individuals aged 5 and above to gain insight into their issues and finding new and healthy ways of managing/coping with them.

My approach

These are several approaches I utilize during sessions, depending on the presenting issue(s): Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Reality/Choice Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-focused brief therapy.

My communication style

I model clear, honest communication in sessions, minimizing confusion and misunderstanding, and contributing to high success rates.

My journey to mental healthcare

I had planned to begin law school in January 2017, but a family mental health crisis postponed those plans and redirected my path. That experience sparked a deep interest in mental health, and after researching the field, I concluded my skills would be put to better use here.

My goals for you

Goal setting is collaborative and is one of the most important aspects of therapy. I work with my clients to identify smart goals, leaving space for adjustments as needed.

Our first session

During the first session, I work with my clients to build a professional relationship while learning about their needs. This will also be an opportunity for my clients to gain insight into my therapy approaches and ask any clarifying questions.
