Latrice’s Mission:  Be The Best You Can Be!!!
         
Latrice’s Philosophy for Counseling is that the process continuously
consists of Learning, Growing, and Living.  You can’t do one without the
other.

Learning
- Learn how to take better care of yourself emotionally, physically,
and mentally.  Learn how to confront the unhealthy patterns.  Learn how to
implement healthier decisions/choices.  Learn how to let go of the mistakes,
hurts, disappointments, negativity, and hindrances.  Learn how to embrace
your flaws and not allow them to be counterproductive to your strengths.  
Learn how to heal!!!

Growing- Your personality and will to live blossoms.  You grow into a better
you.  You grow into someone you never imagined yourself to be.  You grow
out of the fear, stagnation, and hopelessness into purpose!!!  

Living- You live despite the scars and wounds of yesterday.  You realize that
strength, wisdom, patience, and forgiveness are essential to daily living.  You
live knowing that your life belongs to you.  You live knowing that you are
forever evolving.  You live everyday to the fullest nothing being said or done
in vain.  You live because you are an important and significant part of God’s
creation.  Living is a never ending Ministry!!!

“Let Your Light So Shine Before Men, That They May See Your Good
Works, And Glorify Your Father Which Is In Heaven” Matthew 5:16
