I believe in hope—even when things feel overwhelming. I’ve spent many years supporting people through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I warmly welcome children, teens, and adults to reach out. Clients often describe me as open‐minded, direct, and warm—someone who listens deeply but also helps you challenge what’s holding you back.
I provide a warm, empathetic perspective while listening to your story. I have 15 years experience working with adults and children struggling with mental health challenges and many other stressors.
I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years, seeing clients privately for almost 15. You can trust me to provide a supportive and safe environment. We will work together to build coping skills and confidence to take on life's daily challenges.

Therapy that gets you. Healing that grows you.
Hi, I’m Larneka — a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor who believes healing begins when you feel seen, understood, and supported. My approach is warm, authentic, and empowering.
I help adults navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I’m passionate about serving BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and underserved communities by providing therapy that honors each person’s identity and lived experience.
Originally from a small, rural town south of San Antonio, I pursued my passion for social work in the DFW metroplex. I completed both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work at The University of Texas at Arlington, with a focus on diversity and Family & Children. While I've gained experience in diverse social work environments, my primary focus and passion have been providing mental health services to children and and their families. It's incredibly rewarding work, and I'm wholeheartedly committed to supporting mental well-being.
I'm a Clinical Social Worker with three years of experience. I graduated from Texas A&M University Kingsville with a Masters in Social Work. I look forward to getting to meet you.
