About me
Hi, I'm LaShica!
I currently live in Charlotte, NC but I'm originally from Marion, SC. I am married with 2 kids and in my free time I enjoy: lifting weights, playing softball, and running.
I hold a Post- Certificate in School Counseling from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, Masters of Arts Degree in Counseling , Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology and I am a National Board Certified Teacher in the area of School Counseling. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor.
I have over 10 years of experience in counseling adolescents and adults with mental illness, developmental disabilities and substance abuse problems. I have experience working as a School Counselor providing career, academic, social and emotional counseling to students ranging from 4-21 years in age, along with their family. I have worked in group homes providing therapeutic individual and group counseling. I have worked with families providing individual and family counseling in the clinical and home setting.
My approach to therapy comes from an eclectic base with a strong focus on cognitive-behavioral and person centered therapy. I believe that a person should be able to make choices about their future and should be given all available resources to make an informed choice.
I look forward to working with you and your family in the future!!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for LaShica Hemingway. 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.
LaShica made me feel comfortable and safe from the jump, she didn’t judge, she let me speak and listened to me. I’ve never done therapy before and was very nervous. After my experience I look forward to meeting with LaShica!
LaShica has been really great to work with. She is so relatable and shares her very real perspective and examples to try and get you to see another way to view a particular situation. It’s always very comfortable to talk with her and it’s really been very helpful to our relationship. We still have work to do but have made a lot of progress so far. I appreciate her kind nature, sensitivity, humor and expertise. It’s all necessary during sometimes what can be tense or uncomfortable exchanges with my partner.
Truly enjoy working LaShica....she is very easy to talk with. After the first few moments I felt a connection with her. She is encouraging and has many ideas that work and are appreciated. I feel she truly listens and cares. She has a way of getting to the root of the problem and helps you get to a solution. I have gotten a lot of help in just a couple of sessions. She makes me want to work to get better. It's great when you can actually get a laugh together! Would highly recommend her!
I'm grateful to be working with LaShica who is a very talented therapist -- she has a deeper understanding of things that's truly impressive; her cleverness and wisdom are guiding me back into the Light and hopeful side of things, patiently reminding me of what's most precious and important in life
LaShica is the best. Great listener, very thoughtful and understanding.
She’s awesome
2023 was a tough year and I felt that I didn’t have anyone to talk to about everything that had happened and LaShica Has been a godsend honestly! I would recommend her to any person of color who is looking for a therapist or honestly anyone at all!
LaShica has been great. Clear and responsive communication, and very easy to make appointments with.
I love the flexibility of scheduling online and she keeps a good availability.
She keeps a great balance of listening and being supportive of my feeling, and also giving feedback so I’m not stuck in my feelings. She breaks things down in a way that helps simplify the emotional experience.
LaShica is a very good therapist. She is very good at listening and helping you ID the problem then gives helpful techniques to help personal growth and development. Would use 10/10 times.
LaShica is a thoughtful, balanced and considerate professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a therapist.
She very detail and understanding in her approach
Awesome experience with teencounseling.com! First time experience with a virtual therapist and LaShica has definitely made it a rewarding journey for my mental growth.
I have been seeing LaShica since January 2023 and she really gets me and understands my needs, I highly recommend her. She responds to messages timely and offers appointments to fit anyone’s work schedule .
LaShica Hemingway came across my path right on time. It was during a time when I was about to internally burst. She made me feel comfortable enought to release my emotions & feelings with trust and confidence that she heard me. She definitely helped me to feel more lightweight in what I was carrying.
She is someone who will listen to what you say and give you the best advice.
Ms. LaShica is knowledgeable kind and compassionate. I would highly recommend her for someone who needs help in their life. She has been a blessing to me.
This therapist handles a variety of cases and provides sound guidance.
She is great!
I’ve been with LaShica for about four weeks now and she is amazing I love that I can talk to her about anything I really feel like she truly cares about me
I have had a few therapist in my life! I love the therapist I have now! She listens to me, I feel like I can be myself when speaking with her!. I have never had a therapist to check on me daily. I feel heard, and like I'm a priority! I don't think I want to see anyone else ever!!!!
Every since I have started working with LaShica, I feel more confident in decisions making , having self discipline and confidence and she is making me more aware of my feelings , wants and needs. Something I had problems with prior to therapy. I plan on doing weekly sessions with her because I feels as though she completely understands me and gets where I come from. She is the best honestly.
She is always willing to listen. She offers ideas and provokes thought really well. I enjoy talking to her
Excellent clinician
A very good counselor that listens and suggests helpful ideas
She is great and has helped me tremendously I highly recommend her
LaShica gives me space to talk about whatever is on my mind. She then relates it back to my identified goals for seeking counseling. She encourages me to engage in self care, celebrate each milestone (large or small) and to give myself the type of grace that I offer to others.
I really enjoy my counseling sessions with LaShica and have learned alot about ways to cope with different life situations.
An amazing and understanding woman who helps me without prying into areas I am not ready to discuss. Would recommend her in a heartbeat.
She is real, genuine, authentic. Not only does she listen to my issues, she sheds light to my situation. She shares thoughts, experiences and knowledge to help me go beyond myself to gain perspective.
I'm so thankful for Lashica!! She was the confidant and ear I needed in my season of transition/change. I appreciate her guidance and thought provoking questions which helped me think outside my box and look from another perspective. Truly a professional and always understanding. She meets you right where you are and listens. That is SO appreciated.
She is very professional and courteous and does an excellent job.
We love her and she saved our marriage! I always know she’ll be there when we call.
I like how she has a friendly voice. She listens well.
Lashica is a great counselor. She listens and takes the time to understand your issues and concerns. She is invested in you finding solutions.
I appreciated her keeping up with me even with my lack of follow up.
I love LaShica, she’s like the big sister I was looking for.
I love her!!! She listens to my every pain and say things to help me think about what the root is and what caused it so that I would be able fix it. She shows compassion on the situation and gives Godly insight.
My daughter loves her and is comfortable with speaking to her. She has great advice, and is very good at what she does.
She is a great counselor and friend!
LaShica is understanding and compassionate. I have benefited from her services and I feel I can talk to her.
She is awesome. Really is helping me to improve my world view into a more positive one. Always listens and is very helpful.
LaShica is wonderful, and has helped me tremendously. She is empathetic, caring, and supportive, and I am grateful to have found her. Highly recommend!
Being able to talk to her makes me feel at ease and like I’m being heard. I spent so many years of my life not feeling like anyone was listening to me and using teencounseling.com and LaShica has helped me a lot.
LaShica is patient, upbeat, understanding, relatable, helpful, a source of positivity in my life.
LaShica is a great counselor who provides a listening ear to my problems, concerns and issues. She responds with helpful ways to have me think about my situation differently and provides tactics to help me make difficult decisions. I recommend her to anyone having family/relationship issues and challenges. She’s the best!
I've only just started working with LaShica and love her already. Talking with her is like talking with a friend - but a friend with major professional expertise who can help me get to where I need to be. I fully recommend working with her.
She is awesome! She listens to me, respects me, and wants you to grow as a person. I appreciate her and am happy to have had her as a counselor.
LaShica has been very helpful. It feels like she’s always available and she helps me put things in perspective.
LaShica was exactly the help my child needed during a crucial time of life. I think it was a great investment in my child's future, and I'm glad we had this opportunity. I can't speak to the counseling directly since my child received it, but I'm confident she's excellent.
LaShica takes time to help me and has helped teach me different coping strategies for my issues. Is very supportive and encouraging and has helped me when I have been rock bottom as well as when I been really in a good place. I can message any time and within a few hours I get a helpful reply. LaShica is very professional but also kind, patient, understanding and friendly.
I had significant conversations with LaShica regarding my subjects of concern and I found her counseling support to be strong. Her advise is very helpful, and helps to clarify my issues. I warmly recommend counseling with LaShica in order to get a real help!
LaShica is absolutely amazing! I have had her as my counselor for a year or so and she has helped me through so much. She is always there when I need to talk and helps me understand what I'm going through and how to deal with it. She is the BEST!
I've just had my first session with LaShica and, while I didn't expect it so soon, I got so much perspective and practicality out of our one session. I appreciated that she affirmed boundaries while giving me some "grounding in reality," and that she helped me to see different options within those boundaries.
Having had a few sets of face-to-face counseling, I started the session with anxiety about "online counseling." But when it was over I felt peaceful and prepared to take my next step. LaShica's such a good counsellor - direct, but not pushy; down to earth; and insightful. I am so grateful!
Great at responding and very understanding, even when I ramble on over and over again about the same things. She offers new ways to look at things and I would highly recommend her for your counseling.
LaShica has been a welcome presence after several years of not-quite-right counselors. Her warm and understanding demeanor, as well as her openness make our sessions feel less like an evaluation and more like a conversation where we explore new concepts and behaviors in a constructive, friendly way. I feel like she has taken the time to understand where I am coming from and challenges me to grow in a positive, attainable way.
LaShica has done a great job being available for needed sessions and responding to messages. She listens first and then asks follow up questions to truly help narrow down the best strategies for the situation. LaShica also checks in on you every few days and I have really appreciated that she cares about helping.
LaShica has been very compassionate and understanding when it comes to hearing about my issues. She checks in on me often and I'll be sure to seek out more help from her when I need in the future.
She has been really great, I appreciate her checking in when she doesn't hear from me. Makes me feel that someone cares about me.
I have been speaking to LaShica for just a couple of weeks but so far so great! I have always been apprehensive about counseling/ therapy and have put it off for many years. Upon our very first conversation, LaShica made me feel very relaxed. The session wasn’t clinical as I had expected, I could relate with her.. she really listened and I was able to be myself. We have a call every week and she checks in on numerous occasions over the week. Again, this has really helped to build rapport and though it’s only been a few weeks - I already feel lighter and things are looking up for me. I would highly recommend!
LaShica has really helped me tackle my issues and gain control of my life again in a short amount of time. Thank you so much!
LaShica has been a tremendous help during a difficult time in my life. I live somewhere with very limited access to mental health professionals, and this has been a wonderful resource for me. Thank you!
