A loan helped my business, Omni Addiction & Mental Health Services, afford marketing ads and staffing.


Lateshia's story

I am LaTeshia, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner. I grew up in rural Southern VA, where I even attended the local college in Lawrenceville, the currently defunct Saint Paul's College. There I earned my B.A. degree in Sociology and there that I met my now ex-husband. Shortly after, I gave birth to my 2 favorite people, sons Kion and Kai. I then went on to pursue my Master of Science degree, which I completed in 2005 at Longwood University. I majored in Community & College Counseling.

I tried my hand at teaching initially after completing my Bachelor's Degree. My sister made it look effortless and often spoke of her love for the profession, but as we know-it isn't for everyone. After 3 semesters, I quickly decided that the profession was not for me. For as long as I could remember I was intrigued by human thoughts and behavior. I determined that it was time for me to build a career in the field that I found so interesting and that is just what I did.

I started my career as a counselor in corrections in the early 2000's. At the time, my position as a Corrections Counselor was not as fulfilling as I had hoped. It did not require much interaction with the thoughts and particular behaviors of the offenders. I tried other jobs in the field briefly, but I believe I fell in love with my position as a Residential Counselor at a substance abuse treatment facility. This is when I found my niche in substance use counseling, which is now my specialty. I love that this work affords me the opportunity to utilize a wide range of clinical skills while, many times, also focusing on healing disorders in mental health.
