London Jolivette, LMSW - Individual Counseling & Trauma Therapy

Sometimes the hardest part isn't knowing that something is wrong. It's figuring out why you keep ending up in the same situations, why certain relationships leave you feeling drained, or why the things you used to manage seem harder than they should.

Maybe you're the person everyone turns to when they need something. Maybe you're dealing with family conflict, struggling to set boundaries, feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, or trying to make sense of experiences that still affect you today. You may look like you're holding it all together on the outside while feeling frustrated, anxious, or emotionally exhausted on the inside.

You don't have to wait until things fall apart to ask for help.

I'm interested in understanding what's actually happening in your life—not just the symptoms you're experiencing, but the relationships, experiences, responsibilities, and patterns that may be contributing to them. Therapy gives us a chance to slow things down, look at the bigger picture, and figure out what you can do differently.  My goal is to help you better understand yourself, work through what has been weighing on you, and find practical ways to make everyday life feel more manageable.

My Background & Experience

I've spent my career working with people and families through complicated situations and difficult life adjustments. My experience includes working with individuals and families from all backgrounds through a variety of intervention settings, including case management, crisis intervention, domestic violence and homeless shelters, family and in-home services, community programs, psychiatric in-patient, high conflict resolution.  I have supported people navigating adversity, relationship challenges, life adjustments, grief/loss, family conflict, parenting challenges, substance use, and significant life transitions, as well as mentored and supervised other professionals.

My years of experience with individuals and families facing complex situations allow me to bring real-world perspective, practical tools, and an understanding of how life circumstances affect mental health. I can help you sort through what’s happening, identify what’s keeping you stuck, and create realistic steps toward feeling and functioning better.

My Approach

Therapy with me is a place where you can be honest about what’s going on without feeling judged. I bring real-life experience, clinical knowledge, and a trauma-informed perspective to our work. I’ll listen, ask the questions that matter, give you honest feedback, and help you look at things from a different perspective. We’ll focus on understanding what’s really going on and what can actually change.

Together, we’ll work on breaking patterns that aren’t working, changing behaviors, building healthier relationships, setting boundaries, improving communication, managing emotions, and working through difficult experiences. You’ll gain a better understanding of yourself, develop skills you can use in everyday life, and have a clearer path forward.

Take the First Step

I know taking the first step into therapy isn't always easy. You may not know exactly what to say or even where to start—and that's okay. We'll begin with what you're experiencing and what you'd like to change. As we get to know each other, we'll identify what matters most and where to focus.

You have spent a lot of time navigating life's challenges. Now it may be time to make some space for yourself. I'd be glad to walk alongside you as you figure out what's next. Schedule today to start.
