Elevation Therapeutic

Meet Latoya,

I am Latoya Smith and I value physical, mental, and spiritual wellness. If we were to work together, you would probably be disclosing a lot to me so I want you to get to know me as well.

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I am the middle child in a large family of seven. Am a married mother of two. I am a proud "boys mom". I enjoy listening to 90's R&B. I also enjoy learning and reading books on personal development, finance, and mental health. My favorite books are the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest. Like most humans, I have been through my share of challenges and trauma. Over the years, I have received therapy, coaching, and counseling services. I know what it is like to be both the client and the service provider. As a result of my own lived experience, I prioritize my mental health above everything. I practice what I preach.

More about me...
