Lakisha Boykin, LCMHC

Lakisha Boykin draws inspiration from the idea that thoughts, feelings, and imagination shape who we become, and she brings that perspective into her work supporting people through difficult seasons. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore fears, sadness, confusion, insecurity, frustration, or anger and gain practical tools to manage those feelings. Lakisha emphasizes helping people navigate negative thoughts that affect relationships and self-image while also honoring positive life changes and growth.

Her career in mental health has involved community-focused roles for 15 years, including three years as a clinician in a behavioral health walk-in clinic where she completed clinical assessments and connected people with appropriate services. She also has over 6 years of direct experience working with individuals facing life transitions, depression, anxiety, family and marital conflict, self-esteem concerns, grief, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. Lakisha is familiar with collaborating with psychiatrists, primary care physicians, and community agencies to support coordinated care.

As a licensed professional holding LCMHC - which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - Lakisha approaches therapy with warmth, compassion, and receptivity. She views each person as the expert on their own life and positions herself as a supportive guide to help clients move toward their goals. She enjoys working with people who are motivated to make change, clarify purpose, and improve their daily functioning, and she looks forward to helping others become the best version of themselves.
