LaKisha Watson, LPC Associate

I support adults and young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, identity, and the stress that comes with change.

I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, relationships, identity, grief, burnout, and major changes in their personal or professional lives. I have a particular interest in supporting women through changing life stages and emotional wellness concerns, as well as veterans and others whose experiences may shape how they manage stress, relationships, identity, and everyday life.

My approach is integrative, collaborative, and grounded in the whole person. Counseling with me may include exploring thoughts and emotions, relationship and attachment patterns, past experiences, and the parts of ourselves that sometimes feel in conflict. I also consider how stress, sleep, nutrition, movement, hormones, and the gut-brain connection can interact with emotional well-being.

As a military veteran with more than 20 years of experience across healthcare, behavioral health, and leadership, I bring both professional experience and an understanding of high-pressure environments, significant transitions, and the adjustment that can come with different stages of life.

At STIR Integrative Counseling & Consulting, you don't have to have everything figured out before you come in. We'll focus on understanding what you're experiencing, recognizing patterns, building practical tools, and finding approaches that fit you and your life.
