What if you were able to identify where some of your problematic beliefs and behaviors started, heal, and move forward not repeating the same patterns, would you do it? Many don't realize that's an option. So many of us are living out our traumas and calling it personality - "that's just how I am."

Trauma that is not transformed is transmitted and many of us are numerous generations into this cycle. Trauma travels from generation to generation until someone is ready to feel it, heal it, and let it. It can stop with you! La Shanda Sugg, LPC is a therapist, trainer, and consultant. Gifted with the art of translating, she takes complex concepts and makes them relatable and easy to understand.

As a relational, sexual, and racial trauma survivor, I truly value the work and process of healing and growth. I would never suggest that someone cannot guide a person where he or she has not been, but it definitely helps to know the terrain.

The combination of my own personal journey, working in the mental health field for over a decade, and specialized training and certifications have equipped me with valuable tools and insights that I am eager to share with others.I truly believe I have been purposed to walk alongside others in their personal and professional journeys to healing and fulfillment.
Labors of Love provides a safe space for family members to explore their complex and complicated relationships, conflicts, and past pains. With a therapist to mediate and translate, members are able to express their thoughts and feelings while learning about their brains and bodies, connecting with their internal experiences, and practicing new skills.
Being trauma responsive means not only acknowledging that people have had trauma and other adverse experiences, but developing structures that create safety, empathy and build resilience. This lens impacts how an organization operates from their physical location, to policy and procedures, to service provision and staff support.

Our marriage was not saveable, but the failure could in no way be attributed to La Shanda. She was extremely understanding and tried multiple approaches to work out our differences.
