Currently Accepting New Clients

Lateria Floyd, LCSW-C

 I identify with the pronouns she/her/hers. 

 

My name is Lateria and I’m a licensed master social worker with 5+ years providing mental health services. I am here to create a safe healing space for those who would like to embark on their therapeutic journey. My mental health background spans across diverse populations. In my career, I have worked with individuals who have severe & chronic mental illness, women, families, children, and individuals who identify with the LGBTQ+ community. I have also worked with youth in foster care specializing in finding a temporary, short, or long-term placement, as well as providing in-home stabilization services. Alongside that, I also have experience in crisis response. I am a firm believer that the youth are our future and we as a people must invest in them!

Experience

I'm a Licensed Social Worker

IMG-3234.jpg

I understand the barriers that individuals face due to inequalities, lack of accessibility, financial support, as well as lack of mental health awareness. Having knowledge of these known barriers, I utilize a person-centered approach alongside the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness meditation, and motivational interviewing. When working with youth, I use play therapy through drawing activities, use of dolls, and puppet play to broaden communication. Every client will have individualized treatment plans according to their needs.

 

I aim to change the stigma around mental health and the need for therapeutic services through compassion and creating a judgment-free zone. That can start with you!

Qualifications

In 2016, I earned a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Delaware State University.  In addition, I obtained my Masters of Social Work degree with a concentration in Urban Children, Youth, and Families from Morgan State University in 2020. I am also a member of Phi Alpha, The National Honors Society for Social Workers.
