Difficult days are inevitable on life`s journey. You may be having challenges in a relationship, struggling to cope with a past or recent trauma, be a victim of abuse, bullying or race based trauma, going through a divorce or separation, worried about your relationship with children or other family members, experiencing anxiety, self-doubt, depression, stress, grief or just going through a difficult period of your life. Whatever the challenge or struggle, you don`t have to suffer in silence. It is ok to not be ok! Reassuringly, there is collaborative support available to get you through.

Relieve yourself of the burden and embrace the opportunity to explore a new version of yourself with me, Latoya Reid: an experienced, non-judgemental, authentic and empathetic psychotherapist. I have worked extensively with diverse populations. Additionally, my lived experiences help me to validate, value and understand each client as a unique person and use this tailored approach to build therapeutic alliance where you are empowered to set your own goals and where non-judgmental feedback is offered. A firm believer in the power of people and their ability to help create their own realities, I honour my clients as the experts of their lives. This means tapping into your innate strength and resources, to rise above any stereotypes attached by society to pursue positive change and live your life to the fullest.

As part of your healing journey and self-improvement, I partner with you as a guide by using your strengths and inner skills as a road map. As your psychotherapist, I will employ a tailored multidimensional approach that takes into consideration your trauma and cultural context, while collaboratively selecting therapeutic tools to cultivate the wholeness that you seek in order to lead a fully functional life.
