I seek to provide culturally affirming, holistic care that integrates the mind, body, and spirit. As a multicultural, neurodivergent psychiatrist and daughter of immigrants raised in Chicago, I bring both clinical training and lived experience to our work together. My own journey through burnout and the process of learning to slow down and listen to what my body needed has also shaped the care I provide.

Living with anxiety, depression, or chronic stress can make everyday life feel heavy and unfair, and it’s normal to feel drained by ongoing worry, low mood, or tension. You may have trouble sleeping, concentrating, or enjoying things you once liked, and reaching out for help can feel like a big step. Seeking support is a meaningful move toward feeling steadier and more hopeful. These struggles often affect work, relationships, and self-esteem, whether the worry shows up as panic, persistent low mood, or chronic stress. Together we'll explore what keeps these patterns going and build practical ways to feel more balanced and connected

Latosha Haywood

Latosha Haywood

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi, I'm Latosha Haywood, LCPC, with a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University and I'm really glad you're here.

Before I became a therapist, I spent years as a 911 call taker, showing up for people in some of their scariest, most overwhelming moments. That work taught me something I carry into every session: that people are so much stronger than they realize, and that having someone truly in your corner can make all the difference.

If you're going through something hard right now, whether it's the heaviness of anxiety or depression, the echoes of past trauma, or just feeling like life has knocked you off balance, I want you to know that you don't have to figure it out alone. My door is open, and you can come exactly as you are.
