Dr. LaWanda Hill

Before I ask you to trust me with your story and healing, here's what shaped mine. I'm Dr. LaWanda Hill, licensed psychologist, truth teller, and creator of transformative spaces. Growing up in a small rural town in Louisiana where resources were scarce, I became intimately connected with what it took to survive. It was my survival mentality that helped me pursue my Bachelors in Psychology from THEE historically Black college, Southern University and A&M college, and go on to obtain my Masters of Education in Professional Counseling, and Doctorate of Philosophy in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston. But after completing those goals, life showed me that the mindset that helped me survive would not help me thrive. A pivot was necessary but there was no model that showed me how.  Not having a model that honored every aspect of who I am, the unique challenges I faced, or considered how to bridge the gap between where I came from and where I was trying to go challenged me to combine my education and lived experiences with innovation to build a practice where every part of Black women's identity can be honored and no part of themselves have to shrink.

This isn't just my story. It's a call to yours. If you're ready to move out of surviving to thriving, let's work! ​
