Latosha Haywood

Latosha Haywood

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi, I'm Latosha Haywood, LCPC, with a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University and I'm really glad you're here.

Before I became a therapist, I spent years as a 911 call taker, showing up for people in some of their scariest, most overwhelming moments. That work taught me something I carry into every session: that people are so much stronger than they realize, and that having someone truly in your corner can make all the difference.

If you're going through something hard right now, whether it's the heaviness of anxiety or depression, the echoes of past trauma, or just feeling like life has knocked you off balance, I want you to know that you don't have to figure it out alone. My door is open, and you can come exactly as you are.

You might be the person everyone else depends on while quietly struggling yourself. Maybe your mind won't slow down, you overthink every decision, you're constantly distracted, or you're carrying stress that no one else seems to notice. Whether you're dealing with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, depression, or the pressure of trying to keep it all together, my goal is to help you feel understood, regain control, and start enjoying life again. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and strive to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.
