LaToya Cheathon

My communication style

I am direct, yet compassionate. I support clients by meeting them where they are and helping them identify their goals. I encourage self-compassion and ensure both partners explore their roles in the challenges they are having as a couple.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have known I wanted to be a couples therapist since I was in middle school because I enjoy helping people understand one another better and heal the conflict between them through self-realization. My goal is to help couples see that they are often fighting for the same goals- to be understood, to feel loved, and to feel valued by their partner.

My goals for you

I ask clients about their goals in the beginning and check in with them throughout, always trying to create a safe space for them to share if they feel like their goals have changed.

Our first session

I will complete an intake where we will go over disclosures and other pertinent information and then will gather information to assess your needs, as well as identify goals for therapy. I will also share more about my approach to therapy and help you understand what to expect throughout our time together.
