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 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

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Tacoma

Finding addiction therapists in Tacoma starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, nicotine use, gambling, and other behavioral concerns. Some therapists focus on approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or relapse prevention planning. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match the type of care you want.

Tacoma has a range of local mental health care options, including therapists near downtown, North End, South Tacoma, and nearby Pierce County communities. Depending on your schedule and transportation needs, you may prefer an in-person office visit or a virtual appointment. Recovery can shift over time, so a good fit may include a therapist who offers flexible availability, uses a non-judgmental approach, and has experience with harm reduction frameworks. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe addiction care, their communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.

Therapy in Tacoma can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, many of whom are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can compare therapists, review their profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
