Lanette Rozier, LCSW

Philosophy of Care

In over twenty years of practice,I have determined that when relationships fail, all other  successes in life become hollow victories. My goal is to help individuals achieve a better quality  of life and avoid needless suffering by enhancing their relationships. Many times a change in  perception can cause a dramatic reduction in symptoms. 

My work with people experiencing challenges in their relationships has given me the  opportunity to incorporate a spiritual component which has helped them to achieve serenity. My  multi-cultural background enables me to offer special insight into the unique problems faced by  racial and ethnic groups. 

The ability to determine which method will work best for each person and the flexibility and  competence to provide the most suitable treatment are essential. I believe that the answers to our  problems are within us. My job is to assist in the uncovering of the knowledge within. 

Therapy is a very intimate relationship that requires courage and hard work on the part of the  person seeking counseling, and caring and dedication on the part of the therapist. It is a  cooperative effort that results in the growth of both patient and therapist. I invite you to begin  that journey.
