About me

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Mississippi, Nevada, and Iowa, with over 11 years of experience helping people work through life’s ups and downs. I specialize in supporting teens and young adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem struggles, identity questions (including LGBTQ+), motivation issues, and big life changes.

I know that growing up and figuring out who you are can feel confusing and overwhelming. Whether you’re feeling stuck, sad, or just not yourself lately, therapy can be a safe space to talk, breathe, and figure things out without judgment.

My approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other creative strategies to help you build confidence, challenge negative thoughts, and develop healthy ways to cope with what life throws at you.

You don’t have to have it all figured out — that’s what therapy is for. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make positive changes at your own pace.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for LaQunana Cistrunk. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
