“Lakisha is hands down the best therapist I’ve ever had. I look forward to our sessions every week and feel like I have a safe space that I have never had before. She’s so genuine, and I’m grateful to have her to guide me on my mental health journey.”

“I highly recommend LaKisha because she listens to my concerns and gives solid directions that ultimately lead to results. Together, we are making headways!”

“The first time I spoke to her I felt like we had known each other for some time. She made me feel comfortable sharing and understood things about me and my situation. She provided the guidance and the reassurance I needed. Thank you!”

“Lakisha is the best. She is so understanding, encouraging, and doesn’t make me feel judged. Definitely recommend she’s exactly what i was looking for!”

“Lakisha has been helpful and comforting during our sessions. I found her recommended instructions on point.”

“Of ALL of the Better Help counselors I could have been matched with, Lakisha is such a perfect match! She truly hears - even the things I’m not saying- and she has an intuitive sense that goes beyond what can be learned in a program, or even in years of experience. Lakisha has been such a gift/ encouragement at this time in my life, when I have felt so vulnerable. She is a good balance between being a cheerleader and a teacher. I’ve experienced many years (maybe 15-20 total) of different counselors, therapists… and Lakisha is one that stands out, as the results we are getting by working together are like compounded interest of life progress! ”

“Lakisha has completely helped our relationship communication and our well being has improved because of her insight and expertise. She has become someone we trust and are very fond of. Initially wanted to do 4 weeks of therapy and have gone for 9 instead. Our hope is to keep seeing her every few weeks now until we get married or even after then. Highly recommend Lakisha for her diligence, her homework she gives, concrete examples on how to improve, and her listening skills. ”

“Lakisha is amazing”

“Lakisha excels in her skills as a therapist and I highly recommend her for marriage counseling. ”

“Lakisha is patient, responsive, understanding, and supportive. While therapy can be challenging as it brings many unresolved issues to the surface, I look forward to continuing to work on myself and better my relationships with those closest to me with her guidance. ”

“Lakisha is my first experience with therapy and it has been amazing ”

“I'm only two sessions in, but I feel like Lakisha hears me, understands what I'm trying to work through, and gives me good feedback and advice.”

“Lakisha is amazing at being a mediator between me and my wife! She’s a marriage saver!”

“Lakisha was so nice and comforting to work with! My husband and I left our first session with her with so much clarity and also hope! I highly recommend working with her! ”
