What makes Latalia White with Latalia White LLC a good neighbor?  

The intersection of our mental health and financial wellbeing is a topic that doesn't receive enough attention in our society. In a recent enlightening conversation with Latalia White, a licensed therapist specializing in relationship and financial therapy, we explored this crucial connection and discovered how addressing our psychological relationship with money can transform our lives. Based in Colorado Springs with offices in Old Colorado City, Latalia offers both in-person and virtual therapy services throughout Colorado, making mental healthcare accessible regardless of location.

One of the most compelling insights from our discussion was dismantling the common misconception that therapy is exclusively for those in crisis. As Latalia eloquently stated, "Therapy is for everyone. Who in their life has not dealt with stress or a rough patch in a relationship?" This perspective shifts our understanding of therapy from a last-resort intervention to a proactive tool for personal growth and relationship maintenance. By normalizing therapy as a resource for everyday challenges, Latalia helps remove the stigma that prevents many from seeking the support they need before small issues escalate into larger problems.

Particularly fascinating was Latalia's specialty in financial therapy, an emerging field that explores the psychological underpinnings of our financial behaviors. While traditional financial advisors focus on the technical aspects of money management, financial therapists like Latalia delve into the emotional and psychological factors driving our financial decisions. She works with clients who struggle to understand patterns of overspending, difficulty saving, or hiding purchases from partners. These behaviors often stem from deeper psychological roots that, once addressed, can lead to healthier financial habits and improved financial outcomes. This holistic approach recognizes that financial success isn't merely about having the right investment strategy but also about having a healthy relationship with money itself.

Latalia's personal journey significantly informs her professional practice, adding depth and authenticity to her work. Growing up in a small town in West Virginia before attending Princeton University as a first-generation, low-income student, she experienced firsthand the complex emotional terrain of socioeconomic transitions. This culture shock and the feelings of not belonging ultimately shaped her path toward becoming a therapist, particularly one specializing in financial therapy. Her lived experience enables her to connect with clients navigating similar challenges with empathy and genuine understanding, creating a therapeutic environment where clients feel truly seen and validated.

Beyond traditional weekly therapy sessions, Latalia offers innovative "intensives" – extended therapy sessions designed to accelerate growth and healing. This approach recognizes that the traditional therapy model doesn't always fit everyone's needs or circumstances. Additionally, she makes her expertise available to the broader community through speaking engagements, workshops, and training sessions focused on financial therapy concepts. This commitment to education extends the reach of her practice beyond individual clients to impact larger groups and organizations, spreading valuable knowledge about the psychology of money and relationships to those who might never enter a therapist's office.
