Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.

Hi, I’m Kyoko (pronounced Ke-o-ko) and yes, I know my name may take a couple of tries! I believe therapy should be a space where you can be your whole, imperfect, wonderfully complicated self. I’m not the therapist who believes you have to sit on a couch while I wear a suit and nod seriously at everything you say. In fact, you probably won’t catch me wearing one. I believe there is room for honesty, hard conversations, growth, and even laughter in therapy.
That philosophy is part of the heart behind Konfetti & Spaghetti Therapy. Life can be beautiful, exciting, and worth celebrating, like confetti. And sometimes, it can feel like a completely tangled bowl of spaghetti. My job isn’t to judge the mess; it’s to help you untangle it.
I believe healing is revolutionary. Choosing to understand yourself, break unhealthy patterns, process what you've been through, and create a life that feels more authentic to you takes courage. Therapy doesn't have to be uptight or boring to be meaningful. Expect real conversations, practical tools, a little humor, and a therapist who will meet you where you are.
You don't have to have it all figured out before you come to therapy. Just come as you are and we'll figure out the rest together.

I’m Latrivia Akins, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes that mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and centered around you. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being open about what you’re experiencing.
What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Laredo, TX
Searching for addiction therapists in Laredo starts with finding someone whose experience matches the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, nicotine dependence, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it helps to review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach before booking.
In a mid-size city like Laredo, you may find a mix of local therapy offices and virtual appointments across Texas. Virtual care can expand your options if nearby appointment times, commute, or schedule fit matter. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that work for you, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also help you understand how a therapist discusses addiction care, including whether they mention non-judgmental support, relapse prevention, or harm reduction frameworks.
Therapy in Laredo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, lets you check insurance coverage based on your plan and location, and shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse addiction therapists in Laredo, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
