LaTeasha Skinner LPC
My name is LaTeasha Skinner. I am a daughter, sister, wife, and mother. I'm a Licensed Professional Therapist serving the greater Columbus, GA area. Personally, and professionally The Family Unit is very important to me. I majored in Family Counseling because the connection between mental health and the health of the family are intertwined and that connection lights a fire inside of me. I have a strong passion and desire to help others shine through the rough paths of life. I believe that helping people work through different situations will strengthen families, therefore, ensuring that their other relationships are healthy as well.
My goal is to help my clients establish and restore healthy relationships and help them live their lives to the fullest. I provide services to children, singles, couples, and families. I work with those dealing with ptsd, trauma, behavioral problems, abandonment, neglect, infertility, pre/postpartum depression, grief and loss, infidelity and abuse.
I endeavor to provide the highest quality of care to my clients, that is why I dedicate time to learn the latest techniques, stay abreast of the latest research breakthroughs, as well as attending training sessions to enhance my skillset. I tailor my client's treatment plan to meet their individual needs by looking at all aspects of their life: mind, body and spirit.
Additional Services
I offer a support group for couples or individuals dealing with infertility and loss. I conduct corporate workshops, and am available for public speaking engagements.
College Students
I am also a Certified Professional Counseling Supervisor for licensure. I am available to do clinical supervision for recent graduates or anyone looking to become licensed in the state of Georgia. During supervision with me, we will address case consultation, ethics and laws and personal growth as a therapist.
Volunteerism
I am the Mental Health Director and a member of the Board of Directors, with The Next Chapter Resource Center. The Next Chapter Resource Center (TNC) is a not for profit social service agency serving the greater Columbus, Georgia area. Our target group is economically disadvantaged young men and women ages 18 - 29 years old in need of a support system, to help build a foundation on which they will become self-sustainable. Our vision is to be their support system during a very hard chapter in their life, while preparing them for their Next Chapter.
