You might feel stuck between who you thought you’d be by now and where life has actually taken you. Maybe you’re navigating a new diagnosis, old patterns that won’t let go, or relationships that feel like the same argument on repeat. As someone in long‐term recovery who once struggled to launch into adulthood, I understand how overwhelming it can be to rebuild your life from the inside out. I work with adults 17+ of all genders, and I have specific experience supporting people living with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and men who are exploring identity, emotions, and connection.

I believe that healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a space where you don't have to have all the answers or pretend everything is okay you can simply show up as you are.
My path to becoming a therapist began at a young age. I earned my bachelor's degree in Education before completing my Master of Social Work at Baylor University and becoming a Social Worker. My background in both education and clinical social work allows me to understand how life's experiences, relationships, and environments shape who we are while helping clients develop practical, meaningful strategies for change.
I founded LyricsHeart Services because I wanted to build a practice centered on compassion, connection, and hope. The name "LyricsHeart" was inspired by my dog, Lyric, whose unconditional love and comfort reminded me of the profound impact that being present for someone can have. After experiencing the grief of losing Lyric, I gained an even deeper appreciation for the ways loss, love, and resilience shape our lives. Those experiences continue to influence how I show up for my clients, with empathy, authenticity, and the belief that healing is possible even after life's most difficult moments.
Today, I primarily work with adults, young adults, and kids navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and the emotional weight that can come from trying to hold everything together. My style is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I don't believe therapy is about "fixing" you, it's about helping you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and build the tools you need to move forward with confidence.
Whether you're facing a major life transition, processing a loss, or simply looking for a place where you can breathe and be yourself, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
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 OCD Therapist in Laredo, TX
Searching for OCD therapists in Laredo starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not only someone who lists it as a general concern. OCD care may focus on intrusive thoughts, compulsions, rituals, avoidance, and distress around uncertainty. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, OCD-focused care, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy, along with experience that matches your specific needs.
In a mid-size market like Laredo, local options may vary by specialty, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond nearby offices while still letting you choose in-person care when that works better for you. When narrowing your options, compare therapists who are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading each therapist’s profile can help you see whether they have specific ERP training, how they describe their approach, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Laredo can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review OCD therapists in Laredo, compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
