Greetings: My name is La’Toya C. Thomas and I am a native of Vicksburg, MS. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi and Texas. I attended THEE Jackson State University, where I obtained my BSW degree in 2003. I finished the race and went on to attend Syracuse University, where I obtained my MSW degree in 2004. I am an experienced clinician that has 19 years of experience.
My approach
I am experienced with numerous treatment modalities, but love using the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy approaches.
My focus
I have worked in various fields of social work, including mental health, gerontology, substance abuse, hospice, and home health settings. I am well-rounded and I love treating ALL individuals who are willing to better themselves.
My communication style
I create a non-judgmental SAFE space for all of the clients that I service. One's voice can change the world and allow my clients to utilize their VOICE. I view myself as another significant tool in their treatment. I believe in PEACE and I create a peaceful, fun, and therapeutic environment for my clients. My personality attracts clients to my practice.
My journey to mental healthcare
My personal LIFE's story purposed me to become a social worker. I honestly became who I wanted to see. "I have a passion for helping others put the pieces of their own puzzle together". My life's song is "If I can help somebody, as I pass along, then my living, shall not be in vain".
My goals for you
I believe that goal setting is both individual and collective. Goals are set in the beginning and assessed throughout the treatment process. Without the setting of goals, one's success can't be measured.
My first session with you
Clients can expect to meet an individual who is innovative, optimistic, passionate, resilient, and motivated.
