Elaine Latimer-Tandy LPC, CPCS, CCTP-II, C-PD, C-DBT, BC-TMH
Discovering my purpose to become a counselor was inspired by my mother when I was a child. Seeing others come to my mother for advice or wanting someone to just listen to their struggles, she always helped or encouraged, even if it was just motivating them to hold on to their hopes and dreams. Thus began my education and training on life and what being human is about way before college.
My observations and sometimes eavesdropping increased my awareness at a very young age understanding that no matter who we are, we all experience pain and struggles, however, they may affect us in different ways. Life can be beautiful but it can also be very complex. The beliefs in how we should handle our mental, emotional and behavioral struggles can be confusing and seem fruitless, but it doesn't have to be hopeless. In my counseling experience with clients diagnosed with severe psychiatric problems and seeing the positive change, I know that the impossible is very possible.

What to expect in your first session
Your first session, I will gather your history, discuss rules to confidentiality and exceptions to those rules, review informed consent for treatment, identify your goals for therapy, discuss my role as your therapist, and treatment expectations.
