Thank you so much for your kind words! We work to be intentional about creating a space that feels peaceful, welcoming, and safe from the moment you walk through our doors, so it means a lot to know that has been your experience: ). And we agree that Laketa is pretty amazing. We are grateful to have her as part of Team Core Counseling and grateful that you chose us!
I have been seeing Laketa. Initially it was for anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. She has a way of getting to the root of the issues that I didn’t even know existed.

We are so grateful that Laketa has been able to provide a space where you feel supported in doing that deeper work. Thank you for trusting her and Core Counseling with your journey!
Our experience with Abby at Core Counseling was excellent. I would highly recommend their services.

We are so grateful you took the time to share your positive experience with us and others, Kaylyn. We are delighted to know that you have found Core Counseling to be a safe space to process and get the tools you need to create the life you deserve. Kudos to you for also being willing to apply what you learn! That's the hard part! Thank you again for your review and allowing us to serve you.
Dr. Ieshia Richards is an amazing therapist. I am so happy that I went with Core Counseling. She has helped me so much after a near death experience. Dealing with depression, grief, self worth and low self esteem she has given me tools to help me navigate all the emotions. Very good listener as well. If you are looking for a therapist please look into Core Counseling.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us & others who might also, consider being open to support. 🌟 Your strength and resilience shine through your words, and it’s heartwarming to know that Iesha has supported you during such challenging times. The tools you’ve gained are a testament to your dedication to growth and healing.
At Core Counseling, we cherish creating spaces where everyone feels seen and supported. Kudos to you for continuing to show up for yourself! We’re honored to be a part of your journey and look forward to what lies ahead for you.
Honestly, I didn’t expect it but going to therapy here with Laketa has changed my life. I had tried two therapists before, but she is hands down the best. Also the owner Iesha is really supportive and kind with any concerns or questions. They just started offering group therapy sessions and those have been amazing as well!!

Creating spaces where people feel seen, encouraged, and supported is something we care deeply about at Core Counseling, and we’re so excited to now be able to foster even more connection and community through group therapy so clients feel supported not only by us, but by others on their wellness journey as well.
Kudos to you for continuing to show up for yourself and doing the work — that takes strength and courage. We’re grateful to be a part of your journey!
