5 Years of support
I found Laquanya in 2020 at the height of COVID. She was recommended to me by a friend who was a former colleague of hers. At the time I was one of the only clients she was seeing in person.
Our first session I told her that I’ve seen a lot of therapist and by the second or third session is typically when I ghost them. Almost 5 years in with her and I have never looked back.
A breath of fresh air
Finding Laquanya was like finding a breath of fresh air after years of trying to deal with everything eternally. As a gay man in his mid 30’s and a lot of major life changes, Laquanya has a life saver in helping me navigate life and dealing with the twists that get thrown at you. I’m able to breathe a little bit better knowing that I have Laquanya in my corner.
