Hello, I’m LaQuanda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I help clients navigate anxiety, life transitions, and identity.
Hello, I'm LaQuanda! With over a decade of experience in social work, I’ve been helping adults and youth overcome mental health and addiction challenges.
I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University. I hold multiple certifications including an Addiction Counselor Training Certificate from Rutgers as well as a Certified Nurtured Heart Approach Practitioner. I have worked in multiple settings including crisis, case management, inpatient psychiatric hospitals conducting intakes, conducting individual therapy as well as group therapy. I've also worked in community hospitals as well as screening centers.
I’m a warm, friendly and spiritually grounded person who always makes sure everyone feels heard, seen and valued. When I’m not helping people, you can find me getting in some exercise like long walks, running, or hanging out with my 3 fur babies.
I help clients manage persistent worry, social fears, and performance anxiety. I provide evidence-based tools, grounding techniques, and personalized strategies to reduce stress, boost confidence in social and professional settings, and restore a sense of control in daily life.
I help clients who struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and setting boundaries. I provide guidance on clear communication, self-advocacy, and building healthier relationships, so you can honor your needs while connecting authentically with others.
I offer compassionate, trauma-informed support for those in recovery, helping you manage triggers, rebuild confidence, strengthen coping skills, and create a balanced, meaningful life beyond substance use.
I support clients in managing workplace stress, improving communication, setting healthy boundaries, and strengthening professional skills to navigate challenges and thrive in their careers while maintaining personal well-being.
I support clients through career changes, moving to a new city, relationship shifts, and other major life milestones. Life transitions can bring stress, uncertainty, and self-doubt, and I help you process these challenges, manage overwhelm, and regain confidence and balance during times of change.
I help clients understand and manage the emotional and energy shifts that come with seasonal changes. I provide coping strategies, lifestyle guidance, and support to maintain mood, motivation, and well-being throughout the year.
I provide culturally sensitive, trauma-informed therapy for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals. I create a safe space to explore identity, navigate stress, build resilience, self-worth, and authentic connection in your personal and professional life.
I’m a therapist because I know how helpful it can be to talk to someone who understands. I’ve been through my own struggles with anxiety, and I’m so grateful for the support I got when I needed it. Now, I want to help others feel the same way.
I am an avid reader of self -development books and I am VEGAN!
