Hi, I'm Carissa Lataillade.

When I was a child, my family and I were in a rollover accident on the freeway. The car slid across five lanes. Somehow, we didn’t hit anyone. And somehow, we were okay. A few strangers pulled over and stayed with us until help arrived. It wasn’t what these helpers said. It was simply that they were there.

It stayed with me how much it means to not have to hold something hard on your own. That’s the feeling we create in our work together in therapy. We work with the truth of what life’s been asking of you, and figuring it out together.

A lot of the women I work with are in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. We women are often the steady ones in their families or communities. We're the ones people lean on—but inside, things may be shifting. Because of these shifts, my clients are rethinking old roles, carrying a quiet grief, or wondering where they went in the midst of everything and everyone else. In therapy, we make space for those questions.

We start to work through what’s been pushed aside. We listen to what your body, your story, and your spirit have been trying to say. And we do it together—side by side, one honest conversation at a time.
