    clients and collegues talking about their therapy experience with me

     

    "My work with LaVelda is the single best thing I do for myself (and for my relationships). Our work together is effort-full, productive, and thanks to it, I know now that growth is wonderfully possible. She is both inspired and inspiring & she's also compassionate and warm. I've seen her for four years now and am still in awe regularly at how fantastic she is at her work. I didn't know therapy could be like that! I'm beyond glad I found her & I recommend her every chance I get." M.P.

     

    "I recommend LaVelda as much as possible! I have been seeing her for about 3 years now and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. From the very first visit I felt comfortable. LaVelda has a way of using her sense of humor and her empathy to make walls come down and make you feel at ease. She has helped me find useful tools and helped me set healthy boundaries for anything from my first year teaching to my first real heartbreak. I have discovered the importance of self-care! A.M.

    "I found Lavelda Naylor by pure accident and without knowing who I was, she was able to work with me on the fee. She is firmly dedicated to the welfare of her clients; when my situation was dire, she went out of her way to assist me and never charged an additional dime for the extra help. I can't rate her 5 stars because that is too few. " H.G.

    “Lavelda is a great therapist who is mindful and fearless. She tackles difficult cases and seeks further growth from both her clients and herself.“ Betsabe Rubio, LPC-S

     

    “I appreciate Lavelda's existential approach toward her clients and how it has been helpful to them as her clients work on increasing their sense of personal responsibility and gain new abilities to change their lives for the better.“ Ryan W. Gano MA, LMFT
