Dr. LaWanda Hill

Before I ask you to trust me with your story and your healing, here’s what shaped mine.

​

I’m Dr. LaWanda Hill, a visionary licensed psychologist and curator of transformative spaces. Growing up in a small rural town in Louisiana where resources were scarce, I became intimately familiar with what it meant to survive. That survival mentality fueled me as I pursued my Bachelors in Psychology from THEE historically Black college, Southern University and A&M College, and later earned my Masters of Education in Professional Counseling and Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston.

​

But once I achieved those goals, life revealed that the mindset that helped me survive would not help me thrive. A pivot was necessary, yet no model existed that honored every aspect of who I am, spoke to the unique challenges I faced, or bridged the gap between where I came from and where I was going. That realization pushed me to innovate, to combine my education and lived experiences to build a practice where every part of Black women’s identity is honored, and no part of themselves has to shrink.

​

And so I did.

​

Today, I specialize in helping high-achieving, trailblazing Black women navigate the weight of leadership, the pressures of being the “first, few, or only,” and the emotional toll of carrying more than our share. For me, therapy is not just about managing stress, it’s about reclaiming your core self, centering your needs, embracing pleasure, deepening relationships, and aligning your life with who you truly are at every level: emotionally, professionally, relationally, sexually, physically, and spiritually.

​

Clients often describe my approach as real, liberating, and deeply affirming. I hold space for the fullness of your experience: the brilliance and the burnout, the strength and the softness, the success and the vulnerability. Together, we’ll name the invisible forces that weigh on you, disrupt survival patterns that no longer serve you, and chart a path toward your highest self.

If you are ready to be seen, heard, and supported in a space that honors all of you, lets get to work! I would be honored to walk with you on that journey.
