Latoya Johnson-Foster is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the owner of Rediscovering You Counseling, PLLC. She has a master’s degree in Marriage & Family Counseling from Governors State University and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Chicago State University.

Latoya specializes in Black women’s mental health to help bring awareness on how mental illness such as anxiety and depression show up differently in Black women. After struggling with anxiety and depression herself, she self-published two books: I Got This! 30 Day Tips for Black Women with Anxiety or Depression and I’m Not Your Superwoman: An Interactive Guide to Understanding the Black Superwoman Syndrome to focus on the silent mental health struggles that Black women face.

Since she struggled to identify what she was experiencing as a trained therapist in the mental health field, she also knew that other Black women might face the same struggles and that’s when Latoya decided to focus on Black women’s mental health. At Rediscovering You Counseling, Latoya has created a safe space for people to show up as their authentic self without feeling the need to have it all together in order to get to the root of the problem and begin your mental health journey.

Latoya’s mission is to encourage and empower Black women to make themselves and their mental health a top priority by setting healthy boundaries, learning how to say no without feeling guilty for doing so, and taking back their power to become the best version of themselves.

In Latoya’s free time she enjoys working out, watching reality tv shows & actions movies, engaging in self-care activities, and spending time with her friends and family. To learn more about Latoya’s work in the mental health field contact her at Latoya@rediscoveringyoucounseling.com
