About me

I have been working in the mental health field for over 30 years. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Working since 2012 in North Carolina. I have worked with clients with wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, behavioral management, relationship issues, parenting, and crisis management. I specialize in trauma and emotional abuse.

My therapy style is encouraging and interactive. I treat everyone with respect and compassion. I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach to therapy is non-judgmental, person-centered approach, and solution-focused. Therapy is a collaboration; therefore, my job is not to instruct or advise, but to empower you to create the change you wish to see.

I am excited and look forward to working with you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lakishia Bussell. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Quick replies, engaging, and no sugar coating. She is so effective at guiding us to the root of the issues by challenging us in a non threatening way, keeps us from being defensive, and pays attention to how both parties are feeling even when one isn't talking. She advocates for both sides and I love this. She's amazing and exactly what we were looking for!

Lakishia literally saved our relationship and it feels almost as if you were talking to a neutral friend. She’s a genuine person and actually cares. Had several therapists in the past and she is the only one I actually look forward to talk to. I would 100% recommend her. Bless her soul.

Lakisha is the best therapist i have had (and i have tried many)
She does not play a passive role and is great at assigning homework and providing real concrete examples and strategies on how to work through my problems.

Keesha has completely changed our marriage for the better. She enlightened us to things that we need to work on as a couple, and as individuals. We are extremely thankful for her kind heart, persistence, and availability!
