Dr. La Tanya Takla, EdD

I’ve been a licensed mental health provider for over a decade and work with a broad spectrum of clients. I’m also a dedicated professor who teaches Master’s Level counseling students and a Preceptor for Nurse Practitioners. In my private practice, I am the Chief Executive Officer of Mending Feelings Counseling Collaboration. I regularly conduct groups and workshops for the unique needs of clients including: Healing from Race-Based Trauma and Stress, as well as psychoeducation for grief, loss, and coping.

I’m passionate about providing culturally informed responsive services. I aim to promote therapeutic environments that foster awareness and encourage equitable participation; while seeking to address and acknowledge issues of oppression, privilege, and power. I practice this in my own work as a collaborative, interactive, solution-focused therapist. My compassionate support and practical feedback helps clients and community members effectively cope while addressing life challenges.When I’m not hard at work, I am hard at play with an interest in spending time with my three sons, engaging in cultural dance, poetry writing, and reading.
