​
Hello my name is Latoya Boston. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and founder of Real Moms Live. I am passionate about helping children, adolescents and families to conquer unique challenges. I understand you or your family may be navigating many challenging situations such as social isolation, anxiety, social media, ADHD, Depression, Grief, Gender Identity, Divorce and more. I want you to know, I am here to help.
Over the last 21 years, I have been dedicated to providing services to empower mental wellness. As we settle into this year, the most unique year we've collectively experienced, it's become clear that our children, adolescents and families require additional support.
My colleagues and I offer an array of services which include Individual & Family Counseling, Group & Couples Counseling, Anger Management and Empowerment Coaching.
I help families restructure circumstances. My work is about healing; embracing life & sharing experiences. Regardless the circumstance, I help families create a safe space to explore strategies and reduce challenges.
I welcome you into the Real Moms Live community. I invite you to be apart of our network. I believe mental wellness is imperative to achieving goals and dreams. Please let me know how I can help!
To Parents:
As a parent, if you have felt helpless while addressing concerns or powerless wondering if behaviors will change; I would like you to know, you are not alone. I am a mom of 4, I understand the the challenges of parenting and self acceptance. I have a wealth of knowledge gathered over 21+ years of supporting children and families through obstacles. As a mother of four, I am aware of the sacrifices families make in an effort to invest in one another. As a mom I have an adopted child with special needs, two children with anxiety & ADHD and 2 of the 4 have learning disorders. YES, my motherhood resume' is very complex, lol.
​
I know it is difficult watching members of your family struggle with stress, anxiety, depression or social challenges.
If your family requires additional support; I am here to guide you through the process of achieving emotional wellness. If you are concerned or have questions please take the next step by scheduling an initial consultation.
​
Warmly,
Latoya Boston, LMFT
