About me
Hello! My name is Latonia Jennings and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I also have a MA in Psychology and am certified as an Education Specialist. I have worked as a professional Social Worker for over 20 years in various fields including child welfare, couples counseling, military veterans issues, substance abuse, criminal justice, domestic violence, and bereavement. As a clinician for approximately 6 years, most of my work has been with grief and loss, couples counseling, domestic violence, and life issues. I believe that good clinical social work is not only compassionate and encouraging, helpful and goal oriented, but also educational. You should not leave a clinical experience just feeling better about your current issue. You should leave with confidence that you have gained new knowledge and skills to help you with future challenges as well.
Relationships are tough. They require work, energy, and a commitment to maintain. I have experienced divorce myself, after a lengthy marriage, and I know first hand how challenging maintaining relationships, as well as ending them, can be. As a professional counselor however, I have had the pleasure of seeing many couples overcome their challenges and revive their marriages in ways they never thought possible. Experience has taught me the biggest challenge with many relationships is communication. Sometimes just adding a third party can help bring meaningful, positive communication into relationships paving the way for other issues to be more easily resolved.
I believe that individuals are their own experts in what they need. My experience as a clinician has taught me that people have an innate ability to overcome life's challenges on their own; they just need a little help sometimes figuring out how. My favorite quote is: a bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you don't negotiate the turn." You might be feeling like you are at the end of the road right now in your relationship. I see myself as a co-pilot helping you and your partner navigate the tough terrain and negotiate the turns to get back on track.
Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I hope I have an opportunity to work with you both but if not, I wish you the best of luck finding the right clinician to help in your difficult time. Be well.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Latonia Jennings. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Awesome person and great personality! Would recommend her to everyone looking for a therapist.
Latonia really takes the time to understand different perspectives. I think she is wonderful and trustworthy. Thank you so much for your efforts to save me and my relationship. I was drowning.
