LaKendria Ellis

LaKendria Ellis, M.Ed, LPC is a licensed professional clinical and mental health counselor, speaker and educator. She has worn many caps, but the best one yet is that of a counselor. LaKendria often comes across a great deal of people and their suffering. A form of trauma that stems from past hurt going unrecognized or unnoticed. Those encounters have shaped her focus that specializes in counseling depression, anxiety, transitional life events, self-esteem, direction and identity. She serves a variety of patients from various ages, cultures, and backgrounds. LaKendria believes healing is a process and loves to assist others on their journeys.

LaKendria provides individualized therapy as she believes every client is unique and requires different things. LaKendria utilizes her first session to create a road map to healing for her clients.

LaKendria’s educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and biology and master’s degree in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. Initially, LaKendria wanted to become a psychiatrist, but craved the intimacy of hearing from clients and their experiences. From there, she began her career as an educator and through that experience, met a great deal of broken children whose lives impacted her in a way that took hold of her heart and shifted her perspective. She began to deeply ponder the impact these experiences would have on the future lives of children if they continued in the pain and hurt without experiencing healing. It was there, in that career, that she learned her purpose and wanted to PREVENT brokenness through healing and counseling.

LaKendria believes therapy should provide some form of comfort and convenience and provides virtual and in-person sessions depending on the comfort level of the clients.
