Latoria Jennings, MSW, LCSW
License Clinical Social Worker in Virginia
“I believe everyone wants and desires to live a life of joy, happiness, and peace.”
With over 20 years of experience in human services and education, I am passionate about supporting children, teens, young adults (18-35), and caregivers and siblings of a family member with special needs. Throughout my career, I have specialized in helping individuals with developmental disabilities navigate complex support systems and in providing social and emotional support to students in academic settings.
I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree in social work from George Mason University and am currently pursuing my doctoral degree at Morgan State University.
Helping individuals grow, heal, and find greater joy and fulfillment in life is deeply rewarding to me. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered and valued. I believe in working collaboratively to uncover and build upon each person's unique strengths.
I live in the Northern Virginia area with my husband, two sons, and our beloved family dog, Willow Grace. Willow Grace also joins me in sessions for emotional support to clients in need. She literally loves everyone!
My Values
01
Peace
In a fast-paced and often chaotic world, finding moments of peace can be truly invaluable. For me, peace allows for a break from the noise and a chance to realign with oneself. It provides the opportunity to calm the mind, soothe the soul, and restore a sense of balance. In this journey with me, you will learn to communicate your feelings appropriately, develop positive relationships with your peers and family, and come up with ways to solve problems and make peace in your world. You will become better versions of yourself.
02
Compassion
Compassion is more than just a feeling; it is an essential skill that allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level. By approaching clients with empathy, understanding, and kindness, I create a safe and supportive environment where healing can truly begin. My commitment to compassion ensures that each client feels heard, valued, and respected throughout their therapeutic journey. When compassion is at the core of my practice, I can truly make a positive impact on the lives of those I serve.
03
Resilience
I believe it is important to allow individuals to navigate challenges with grace and determination. Those who embody resilience display a remarkable ability to adapt to adversity, recover from setbacks, and grow stronger in the face of obstacles. Resilience enables individuals to maintain focus, productivity, and a positive attitude, even amid difficult circumstances. Individuals who cultivate resilience not only enhance their well-being but also inspire those around them and overall, contribute to a more resilient environment.
