Therapist

I went back to school at age 40 to get my Master's in Social Work, which I received in 2019. I had been working in the behavioral health field for 6 years up to that point as a health navigator for a behavioral health outpatient clinic. During therapy, I help clients to process things from the past that are keeping them stuck related to their relationships with themselves and others. I utilize EMDR, CBT, ERP, and an attachment based approach and enjoy working with clients who have experienced any sort of trauma, would like to improve their relationships and communication skills, experience obsessions and compulsions, and more. My practice is called Warm Glow Therapy, which was named after a client's idea of a supportive resource. Despite the name, I am a down to earth person and therapist. I would love to help you create a plan for a better future! I am licensed to provide therapy for clients in New Mexico and Arizona. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions you would like me to answer. New clients can schedule an initial intake or a brief consultation to discuss whether we would be a good fit.

Latoya Henry-Morrison

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Sierra Vista, AZ


I am Latoya Henry-Morrison, a board-certified psychiatric mental health practitioner who is experienced in the management of patients with varying mental and behavioral health needs, from all ages and stages of development, all across the lifespan. My background as a professional registered Nurse has equipped me with the relevant prerequisites of being a nurturer, which I believe is one of the most important attributes that aids patients in achieving their individual health goals sooner. I am a compassionate, caring, and empathetic individual who strives to be a voice for the voiceless and advocate for those who need guidance towards gaining and sustaining optimal baseline health.

I currently have the privilege of working with and caring for patients from both the paediatric and adult population, who present with varying psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, bipolar, OCD, PTSD, and insomnia, to name a few, by utilizing scientifically based practices/ approaches. I wholeheartedly believe that mental health is cohesive with all other aspects of life and thus examines the patient's environmental, social, emotional, and situational health to appropriately guide them in sustaining and obtaining holistic well-being

Therapist

With 34 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've walked alongside people through some of the heaviest chapters of life — chronic illness, grief, trauma, and the kind of relationship pain that makes you question your own judgment. I earned my MSW at the University of Michigan and have spent three decades learning what actually helps people move forward.

I work exclusively via telehealth for adults and older adults in Michigan and Arizona. One thing I want you to know: I will never use AI to record our sessions. What you share with me stays between us.

A former client described working with me as "the right mix of supportive and challenging." I think that's what honest, effective therapy looks like — not just validation, but real engagement with where you want to go.

Laurie Raymond

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


Hi there. My name is Laurie Raymond. I’m an Arizona mom and grandma who also happens to be a licensed professional counselor and I truly love what I do!

My style as a therapist is warm, supportive and down-to-earth. I work with individuals ages 16 and older, with the goal of helping people feel safe, understood and hopeful as they learn how to better cope with life’s challenges.

I use a trauma-informed approach and am trained in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.), CBT and other evidence-based therapeutic approaches.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked on camera as a television news anchor and reporter in several states including CBS here in Arizona. That experience gave me the privilege of hearing people’s stories during some of the most difficult and meaningful moments of their lives and deepened my appreciation for human resilience.
