A Helping Hand - Offering Mental Health Services

Hello, my name is Latonia Coates-Smith and I am the founder of Embrace Healing and Wellness Therapy, LLC. I serve as a License Clinical Social Worker offering mental health counseling / therapy services within the St. Louis and St. Charles County, MO areas.  

Embracing healing and wellness is key to maximizing your potential.  Serving as a therapist and educator, I help clients understand the underlying factor(s) contributing to unresolved issues within their personal & professional lives. My goal is to provide a wholistic approach to treatment by assessing the individual's environment as well as their mental, physical, and spiritual well being. The whelm of my practice has been demonstrated in both psychiatric and medical settings offering crisis intervention, intensive case management, and counseling to a diverse population including veterans and those experiencing chronic mental and physical illnesses.

I specialize in working with the individual, couples and families in resolving interpersonal conflict, life crisis, managing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma (PTSD), and substance & alcohol use. My experience also includes helping individuals address work related issues and overcoming barriers involving homelessness, civilian adjustment from the military, and caregiver fatigue.

I pull from an array of techniques in helping clients overcome barriers and conflict including solution focus therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and client-centered therapy.   "Be confident in knowing that there is light at the end of the tunnel and extended hands that await to help you."
