I take a holistic approach to therapy, considering the impact on my clients lives of their ancestry, body, family structures, work and finances, and other intersectional realities.
I am trained in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy by MAPS with over 3 years of practicing Ketamine-Assisted Therapy in a medically supervised clinical setting.
Hi, and welcome! I'm a therapist who supports folks looking to deepen their relationships, experience more fun in their lives, and reconnect with their identity. You might have tried therapy before, and still struggle with anxiety or depression, even after gaining more insight. Much like myself, many of my clients have an overcontrolled coping style. This overcontrolled perspective often comes with huge strengths in achieving ambitious goals, juggling a busy schedule, and privately coping with big feelings. We can celebrate where you excel and explore how this coping style might leave you feeling stuck, depleted, or burnt out.
I’m passionate about helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, life challenges and transitions, identity, grief and loss, and relational challenges with compassion and practical support. I utilize evidence based treatment depending on your needs and treatment goals. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience in community mental health in Oklahoma, where I provided individual therapy, group therapy, and crisis intervention. I hold a BA in Psychology from Harding University and an MA in Clinical Psychology from Wheaton College. Before returning to the U.S. in 2023, I lived abroad in France and North Africa for over seven years, an experience that deepened my understanding of culture, transition, and resilience.
I’m glad you’re here—I care deeply about helping people improve their emotional and mental well-being by working through past and present challenges. My own journey has shown me the value of therapy in navigating life’s difficulties. I specialize in women’s issues, mental performance, anxiety and depression, adult children of alcoholics, and life transitions. As a devoted Christian, I offer Christian counseling upon request.
I have had the privilege of working with individuals who deal with substance abuse and co-occurring issues for 4+ years. I also have experience treating individuals with depression, anxiety, OCD, body image issues, adjustment disorders, grief, and trauma . I received my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2019. I received my EMDR training in 2020 and integrate this into my counseling as needed.
I am passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life's challenges and discover their inner strengths. My approach is to create an authentic and individual relationship with my clients so they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and hopes without judgment.
Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.
For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.
As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.
Hi, I'm Lathosha, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience in social work, including 25 years as a psychotherapist. I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and healing. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of supporting youth, adults, and families through various life challenges. My skills, knowledge, and personal experiences help me guide clients through complex situations and find balance. I specialize in helping teenagers and adults overcome struggles with depression, anxiety, anger, family conflict, relationship issues, and self-esteem.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker based in Maplewood, NJ and the founder of canyons therapy. I can see clients who live in New Jersey, Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. I am a recovering perfectionist, anxious mom, and lover of a slow-paced life. In session, you will find me casually dressed, warm beverage in-hand, and ready to hold space for your most imperfect self. Outside of session, I’m wrangling my young kids and doing my best to embrace our chaos. I enjoy being in nature, watching the latest documentary, and curating mood-setting playlists.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in McAllen
Searching for therapists in McAllen starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy in McAllen, TX for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what to expect in sessions, and whether they work with concerns similar to yours.
In a smaller city like McAllen, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Texas. You may also want to compare practical fit factors, including appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong match for in-person or virtual care.
Therapy in McAllen can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for McAllen therapists who match your preferences, view insurance options, and see upfront cost estimates after your benefits are checked. You can browse therapists, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
