Lachelle Goldson, LPC
Lachelle R. Goldson is a masters level Licensed Professional Counselor who is compassionate, dedicated, and deeply committed to supporting individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families as they navigate life's challenges with clarity and confidence. With a strong belief in the power of connection, healing, and self discovery, I strive to create a safe and truly nonjudgmental space where every client feels seen, heard, and empowered. Your unique needs and goals are always at the center of our work together.
Drawing from evidence based practices and a holistic approach, I support clients experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, relationship issues, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a genuine commitment to helping people thrive, not just survive. Whether you are seeking personal growth, emotional resilience, or someone to walk alongside you on your healing journey, I bring warmth, insight, and steady support to every session.
I am trained in EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional, and specialize in Tobacco Cessation. My therapeutic approach is guided by two core principles: being mindful of the negative messages we tell ourselves and examining the evidence behind our unhelpful beliefs. By applying these foundational truths, I help clients challenge negative thought patterns, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with their inner strength.
We are thrilled to announce the opening of our new office in Youngstown, Ohio. This expansion allows us to bring our dedicated mental health services to a wider community, offering compassionate, individualized care to individuals, families, and organizations.
