My journey to becoming a therapist and opening You Are Enough, LLC .

LaShanda Batiste-Collins, LPC-S

Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor

From an early age, I found myself becoming the person others turned to the steady presence, the listener, the one who could hold space when life felt too heavy. I’ve walked through my own seasons of uncertainty too, and I know what it’s like to question your value or wonder if you’re truly enough. Those experiences shaped me, strengthened me, and ultimately inspired the name of my practice: You Are Enough.

I understand the quiet battles people fight—the self‑doubt, the emotional exhaustion, the feeling that everyone else seems to cope better than you. I meet clients at that very human level, without judgment or expectation. My role is to help you untangle what feels overwhelming, make sense of what you’re carrying, and guide you toward a version of yourself that feels grounded, capable, and whole.

Even if you don’t believe you’re enough right now, I will hold that belief for you until you can hold it for yourself. That’s the heart of my work, and it’s the connection I bring into every session.
