Therapy for Strong Black Women—Wherever You Are

You’ve carried it all:
✔️ Responsibilities.
✔️ Expectations.
✔️ Success.
✔️ Silence.

But strength doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.

I offer culturally affirming, trauma-informed therapy for high-achieving Black women who are ready to:

  • Release the burden of being “the strong one”

  • Create space for softness and vulnerability

  • Be supported by someone who gets it

Thanks to PsyPACT, I can now offer private pay teletherapy to clients in 30+ U.S. states—legally, securely, and on your terms.

Teletherapy. Private pay. No insurance. Just you, your healing, and a therapist who sees the full you.

    Private Pay – What That Means for You

    No insurance. No gatekeepers. No diagnosis required to begin.

    Dr. La-Toya Gaines’ therapy services are private pay, meaning  she does not accept insurance. This offers you:

    • Greater privacy and confidentiality
    • Flexibility in treatment length and goals
    • More control over your healing—not your insurance company

    She also offers intensives, journal + therapy bundles, and occasional group programs.
